Bathroom remodel in Berkeley, CA, 85 sf remodel. Original bathroom was divided into two rooms (toilet in one, tub and sink in the other) as was typical for early craftsman houses in the area. We combined the two rooms for a more spacious and light filled bathroom big enough for a separate tub and shower. We kept the finishes clean with hand plaster "tadelakt" walls, and a cast stone shower pan.



before photos show two separate rooms.


After photos: Our simple palette of a few natural materials gave us the clean modern look we wanted, but stayed consistent to the natural woods and surfaces in the craftsman house. We use Tadelakt hand plaster on the walls for a clean look and Douglas fir flooring and vanity shelf to provide warmth. Clerestory windows and a shower skylight allow natural light but maintain privacy.

My old Master bath was dark and ugly. I pushed back a wall three feet and repositioned the toilet to under the window.
