This contemporary bathroom in Salt Lake City features a unique tile design that creates a visually stunning and functional space. The combination of textures and patterns adds depth and interest, while the neutral color palette ensures a timeless appeal. To optimize design aesthetic and functionality, the designer wrapped the floor tile up onto the ceiling to make an extra dramatic statement to this wet room.

After having to move away from their first dream home due to personal and job-related circumstances, the Bain family reached out to their original designer, Anne Marie Boedges, to create a new home to fill the gap in their lives left by their departure from the original. 

When noa* Network of Architecture designed the original cantilevered swimming pool in 2016, the studio envisioned it as a rock stranded between earth and sky. In 2019 a new assignment was presented to the architects: to design a dedicated wellbeing extension to suit it. It was not an easy task for a building that had already found its symbol in the original swimming pool, yet this served as inspiration for the new project.

While a hosta might offer bushy layers, an iris could produce a slender figure topped off with a pretty bloom.
