Langdale was originally built as a three bedroom, three bath house, with the master suite located on the South side and the secondary bedrooms and baths located on the North side. As per the time it was originally built, the secondary bathrooms were exceedingly small compared to today’s standards and consequently one of our first decisions was to knock out the common wall between them and create a more comfortable second bath. These bathrooms had outdated fixtures and the walls were covered with turquoise Venetian plaster and textured vinyl wallpaper. The floors were covered in pale grey ceramic tile.











One of the two northern bathrooms did boast a large window that we immediately knew we wanted to expand from floor to ceiling. We replaced the ceramic tile and outdated wallpaper with a white marble from the Greek island of Thassos in the Agean Sea, the same source of marble used by the Greeks since ancient times. Thassos Marble is prized for its pure white color, iridescent characteristics and lack of veining.

We added a Japanese soaking tub with a large mirror above it on the south end of the bathroom and walk in shower on the north end with the floor to ceiling window. A cantilevered vanity floats on the wall in the middle of the bathroom.
