Private Residence - Master Suite Renovation
Baltimore, Maryland | 750 square feet | Residential, Renovation
The master bedroom suite renovation removed a former 1980’s renovation to create a clean, welcoming environment equal to the retreat escapes they had loved in their travels.
Program:
Provide zones for sleeping, lounging, writing, art collection, mini bar and TV, his & her walk in closets, dressing table, master bath with double vanity, water closet, and large shower - all while fitting within the existing footprint. Concept: Provide a peaceful, parental oasis. Remove all walls and use quiet planes to define a new layout that conceals program elements within architectural forms while appearing restful and simple.
Solutions:
A new entry is tucked into the profile of a corridor cabinet original to the house. The axis plane screens views while showcasing art and concealing linen storage.
Slender walls create vertical planes that appear to lift the low ceiling height. Voids between adjacent planes house program such as mini bar, TV, shelves and storage.
The new fireplace provides a warm sense of center.
The natural material palette, selected for its ethereal qualities - harkens to the original historic house. Materials include: plaster, oiled white oak, linen, limestone, woven carpet, low iron glass, blackened steel, pigmented concrete & full-height wood blinds.
