The story

  • 01Curbless conversion
  • 02Hand-glazed tile
  • 03Linear drain
  • 04Thermostatic valve

The homeowners wanted one moment of real color. We worked with a small Pewabic-inspired studio to glaze each tile, so no two are the same blue.

Underneath: a fully sloped, curbless mortar bed and a linear drain, so the floor reads as one continuous plane.
