Nuances of Simplicity

Despite Being Small, Half Baths Can Be Distinctive

Materials and color selections were chosen to tie together the basin, cabinet hardware, co unter top, faucet, mirror and pedestal. Silent Rivers Design Build chose a color palette that would give the bathroom a warm feel and highlight the existing brick floor in the bathroom.All bath fixtures were manufactured by Kohler. They include the DemiLav Wading Pool lavatory sink, Saile elongated one-piece toilet with dual-flush technology and Symbol Tall single- control lavatory faucet.Silent Rivers Design Build custom crafted riftsawn oak cabinetry for the vanity. The drawers were arranged to fit tightly against the pedestal and minimize their appearance. The team carefully designed the Si les tone yellow Nile leather co un ter top (manufactured by Cosentino USA) to ensure a flush installation around the pedestal. To maintain the clean lines of the vanity, the mirror was recessed behind 1/4-inch dry wall.Waukee, Iowa, Half BathSilent Rivers Design Build was invited back to a home it previously had remodeled to remo del a half bath. The homeowners wanted the half bath to honor the home's natural lines and Asian-influenced d�cor. The team incorporated a vessel sink on a pedestal, which was inspired by the homeowners' favorite vase. The sink provides a sculptural centerpiece to the room. Custom cabinetry was constructed to increase storage space while matching the tapered angle of the pedestal and providing discreet access to plumbing connections.THE IDEATHE MATERIALSSilent Rivers Design Build, Clive, Iowa, SilentRivers.comDo you have an inspirational single element from a recent remodel to share?
