From the group home builder:

Our design draws inspiration from the natural world, embracing a tranquil, nature-inspired palette and tactile finishes.

Soft stone-look tiles, warm neutrals, and a matte fluted back-to-wall bath create a serene atmosphere that balances universal appeal with family functionality.

This bath also acts as a sculptural focal point, complemented by a custom ledge that subtly defines the material transitions and adds visual depth.

A skylight shaft above floods the space with natural light, enhancing the earthy tones and amplifying the sense of openness.

Strategic zoning and thoughtful detailing address the compact footprint, delivering both style and practicality.

Adding a moment of contrast, the adjacent water closet features bold geometric wallpaper in deep olive, crisp white, and touches of metallic gold.

This striking design element maintains privacy and introduces playful energy while staying cohesive through complementary hues and materials.

A solar tube brings in natural light, and a sensor light ensures effortless functionality in this enclosed space.
