Three separate rooms are involved in the job: a “his” bath, a “hers” bath and a powder room. All the stone is 2cm, with Green and White Onyx used in “his” and Yellow and White Onyx for “hers.” Calacatta Vagli graced the powder room.

Everything, except the shower floors is polished. The shower walls are flat panels; the rest of the walls in both baths are done as a wainscot, designed in a stile and rail with beveled center panel, all set on top of a profiled base and topped off with a profiled chair rail. The door casings are built up to mimic 3” thick material, with build-up done with no visible lamination.
