Who: Empty-nesters with three children
What: Cite Works Architects’ Ann Wimsatt designed the home, back in 1991, so she was top of mind when the couple wanted help refreshing the master bath.
Where: Ladue
Practical Art
Two pedestal sinks, standing back to back with a mirror in the middle, were a feature of the original design. Wimsatt replaced them with 32-inch tall models that were unavailable when the home was built.
Australian Influence
The pebble wall tiles are from Australia, a country known for its forward-thinking aesthetic, says Wimsatt. “The owner likes to seek out really good contemporary design, no matter where it comes from.”
Water World
Glass block preserves the privacy of the shower without sacrificing light. The material also makes it possible to create curved shapes reminiscent of waves, perfect for a bath.
Simple Shades
The bottom-up shades help bring in natural light without compromising privacy. The shades also allow views of trees and sky, creating a connection with the outdoors.
So Sleek
The four pendants, from Metro Lighting, produce a surprising amount of light, considering each only measures about an inch and a half.
