Client’s Vision: A Bright, Airy Master Bath with a View

Perched high above the East River at 524 East 72nd, our client sought to transform their master bathroom into a haven of natural light and tranquility. They desired a NYC bathroom design that maximized the breathtaking river views while providing ample counter space for their daily routines. The overall aesthetic was to mirror the serene blue-gray tones of the river, creating a seamless transition between the indoor and outdoor environments.

Design Solutions: Harmonizing with Nature’s Palette

Klein and Kitchen and Bath meticulously crafted a bathroom design that embraced and enhanced the natural light pouring in from the large window. The layout was carefully planned to capitalize on the river views, positioning the vanity and shower for optimal sightlines.

A spacious double vanity with a generous countertop was chosen to fulfill the client’s desire for ample space. The bathroom vanity‘s clean lines and minimalist design ensured that the focus remained on the stunning river panorama. The quartz countertop, featuring delicate gray veining, echoed the hues of the water below, further blurring the lines between indoors and out.

To maximize natural light, a frameless glass shower enclosure was installed, allowing the light to flow freely throughout the bathroom. The shower walls and floor, clad in large-format white tiles with subtle gray veining, reflected the light and created a sense of airiness. These tiles seamlessly blended with the gray floor tiles, creating a cohesive and calming visual experience.

Materials and Finishes: An Ode to the River’s Tranquility

Large-format white tiles with delicate gray veining were selected for the shower walls and floor, creating a sense of continuity with the gray floor tiles throughout the bathroom. The veining in the tiles subtly mimicked the movement of the river, enhancing the connection to the natural world.

The vanity’s quartz countertop, with its muted gray tones and delicate veining, further reinforced the theme of harmony with nature. The sleek chrome fixtures added a touch of modernity without detracting from the overall serene aesthetic.

The Result: A Riverfront Sanctuary of Light and Serenity

The result is a breathtaking transformation. The master bathroom at 524 East 72nd has become a luminous sanctuary, seamlessly blending with the surrounding cityscape and river views.

The abundant natural light, reflected and refracted by the carefully chosen tiles and finishes, fills the space with a warm and inviting glow. The expansive vanity offers functionality and a sense of luxury.
