A zen, spa-like LA bathroom, renovated sustainably
In an LEED-certified building with a strict HOA, we turned a Los Angeles bathroom into a calm, spa-like space, reusing what we could to cut waste.
This was a genuinely enjoyable project. The clients’ home was in an LEED-certified Los Angeles building with a well-established HOA, which shaped every decision and pushed the design toward a lighter footprint.
Those constraints led to thoughtful, sustainable choices. We preserved and reused existing plumbing fixtures, including the bathtub, which was not in the original plan but avoided removing items still in excellent condition.
A terrazzo countertop ties the space together, echoing the shower and floor tiles and pairing with the custom vanity and linen cabinets. A built-in makeup table adds a detail that is both functional and elegant. The same unit’s kitchen carries the palette through with a pink zellige backsplash and a fluted wood island.
The result is a serene, spa-like bathroom that respects the building, the budget, and the planet, without giving up an ounce of style.
Watch the space come together.
