Obsessed with mountain biking, this client and tech founder feels most inspired when cycling in Marin. However, his community is in San Francisco, so he opted to purchase his residence in the city. But we wanted to pay tribute to his favorite region across the Golden Gate bridge, so we took photos and videos from his favorite trails in the Summer and Winter months to design his 2 bathrooms into sources of inspiration, uniquely designed to tell his story.
Summer Bathroom
Handmade tiles cascade as a gradient, evolving from the red clay ground into a streak of sunshine into the lush, mossy green forest.
A custom mirror spans the vanity wall to reflect the surroundings, a nod to getting lost in the midst of dense redwood forest.
A gray concrete sink pays tribute to the rocky gravel roads along the trails.
We swapped out the ceiling for a giant, custom Italian-made LED light fixture to embody he blinding sun!
The result? A space primed as the perfect backdrop for innovation and creativity.
Winter Bathroom
The walls are covered in a waterproof plaster finish, cascading down as a nod to the winter haze and fog. The hand painted floor tile is shaped to embody the fractured lines on the red clay forest ground. A custom green concrete sink speaks to the mossy green redwood trees of the surrounding forest. The asymmetrical pendant light has a mix of opaque and transparent bulbs, another nod to the hazy surroundings.
Ultimately, this bathroom feels like a warm, cozy hug.
