THOUGHTFUL FLOORING

Sustainable Design

The floors in the main bathroom area are made
with ADA-compliant tile from a company that
uses energy-efficient processes. These porcelain tiles feature a rectified edge
and a textured finish with high variation to help eliminate the danger of
falling.The shower floor is comprised of matte glass tile made from recycled
glass bottles.
The wood flooring in most of the home and kitchen is Carb II certified
and features an oil finish, which is spot repairable and can be refreshed as it
wears over time.The kitchen also features an easy-to-wash breakfast area rug
made with recycled content and non-toxic materials.
"Harder aluminum-oxide finishes, which are several layers of a plastic-type
material that can still scratch, are more difficult to repair - if it is possible at
all," explained Johnson. "The ability to easily repair existing material makes
complete tear out and replacement unnecessary, and color can be changed
much more easily with oils as well."
PURPOSEFUL PLUMBING

The plumbing fixtures have touch features that minimize water waste but
still maintain a feeling of high water flow. The kitchen sink is more scratch
and even acid resistant than stainless steel.
"Silgranit sinks are much more durable, stain/scratch-resistant and hygienic than other materials, and they are repairable if high-impact damage
does occur," said the designer. "In addition to it being a longer-lasting material, it is quieter than stainless steel and less expensive than other materials
on average.The matte finish and color options give it flexibility to work with
and complement the overall design."
OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

The comprehensive LED decorative lighting plan included some technical
aspects with which the designer was not familiar. One of the manufacturers
made a technical data error on one of the sheets, which Johnson spotted
when the pendants ordered were too short.

ABOVE The master bath fea-

tures a walk-in shower for two
with multiple showerheads
and a textured wall tile.,
BELOW The windows allow

for ample natural light to filter
through the space. The designer chose a dark paint color
to contrast with the lighter
shades of the vanity, flooring
and countertop.

"I had to improvise and find an alternative that
was long enough and would work with the hoop
accessories for the custom fixture," she said. "It
ended up working out better with the new pendants in the end."
When Johnson was hired as the designer for
this project, the homeowner was already working
with a general contractor, who had gutted the
space. Because the designer's company usually
completes the renovation and installation processes in house, extra communication was needed
to coordinate timing with the two parties. The
team followed Johnson's drawings, and everything
was installed as planned.
"I created detailed 3D models with specific callouts, which helped immensely, and the GC was a
great communicator,"she said."We were quick to
respond to each other."
