RESIDENTIAL PORTFOLIO

Private Residence
Oakton, Virginia

Read about this project in Distinctive Kitchen Solutions magazine.

 

This typical 1970s California contemporary is being transformed in two phases. Phase I of the remodel includes this expanded living room, which opened up the formerly dim space to lush views of the lovely yard.

 

 

This new entryway reflects the homeowner’s roots in Hawaii and simplicity of eastern architecture and design. Light, airy and welcoming, the foyer also displays several pieces of artwork.
The homeowner always dreamed of having a traditional Japanese ofuro (bath). The expanded master bedroom now includes this tranquil bath in the ofuro style. The old bath was turned into a double walk-in closet.
Bass Architects thoroughly researched the history, architecture and mystique of the ofuro in order to design an authentic bath for this unique home. The ofuro is made out of traditional hinoki wood and was custom built by one of the only American companies that make them.
