The large oval-shaped tub has an overflowing edge that allows new water to continuously flow into the tub—the waterfall effect keeps the bath water both warm and clean.

Bath of the Year, First Runner Up

As part of a two-year remodel, Midori Yoshikawa, interior and architectural designer, turned the master bathroom of this Mercer Island house into a peaceful retreat.

Yoshikawa’s classic contemporary style with a neutral color palette ensures a timeless design, and limestone flooring complements dark-stained cabinets. “I didn’t want to have a strong accent,” Yoshikawa says, “[The palette] has a more natural feel. Soothing, but it has a punch because of the dark wood.”

To eliminate the weight of that dark color in a small space, Yoshikawa floated cabinets above the floor, visually opening up the room. The glass shower door furthers the illusion of a larger space, and windows and skylights maximize natural light. Yoshikawa designed custom circular mirrors with soft backlights for the vanity.
