The Vision
Nestled along the picturesque shores of Lake Washington, our clients’ home in Kirkland was poised for a remarkable transformation. Their primary goal was to upgrade the master bathroom to create a luxurious retreat that would complement the stunning lake views that had originally drawn them to the area. Understanding their vision, our team at Armada Design & Build engaged in a comprehensive consultation process to ensure that every aspect of the remodel would align with their desires.
From the very first meeting, it was clear that the clients wanted a space that would serve as a sanctuary while enhancing their daily living experience. We began by discussing their preferences, focusing on how they envisioned the bathroom connecting with the serene outdoor beauty surrounding their home. They sought a design that would invite natural light and create an open, airy feel, allowing the tranquil lake views to become a focal point. Our consultation process involved multiple design sessions, where we explored various materials and layout options that would optimize the bathroom space. The clients were particularly interested in incorporating a seamless flow within the bathroom, ensuring that every element worked harmoniously together.
Throughout the design phase, we emphasized materials that would resonate with the peaceful environment. Beautiful stone selections were incorporated to add an elegant touch, creating a cohesive aesthetic that echoed the tranquil lakeside setting. The master bathroom became a luxurious sanctuary, featuring stunning countertops and polished tiles that exuded sophistication. The design process also included careful consideration of fixtures that not only enhanced functionality but also added to the overall ambiance of the space.
As construction began, our project management team ensured a smooth workflow by coordinating all aspects of the remodel. From securing permits to scheduling subcontractors, we focused on keeping the clients informed every step of the way. Our dedicated project coordinator was on-site daily to oversee construction, address any concerns, and maintain open lines of communication with the family. The meticulous attention to detail continued throughout the remodel, where a cohesive design was achieved through the use of complementary materials. The combination of elegant stone and contemporary tiles brought a modern feel to the space, while the white cabinetry maintained a clean and open look.
Our construction team worked diligently to ensure that every aspect of the remodel was executed to perfection. The collaborative effort between our designers and skilled craftsmen was evident in the final results. The clients were thrilled with their transformed master bathroom, where each feature not only functioned beautifully but also accentuated the stunning views of Lake Washington. In the end, the remodel was not just about updating the space; it was about enhancing the clients’ lifestyle and connecting them with the natural beauty that surrounds their home. The successful integration of design and functionality truly reflects the essence of their vision, making their home a perfect retreat for family and friends alike.


The Plan
The recent remodel of our clients’ home is a striking example of how thoughtful design can elevate a living space while enhancing functionality. With their vision of creating a master bathroom that accentuates the breathtaking lake views, our team embarked on a detailed design process focused on modern elegance and practicality.
The Master Bath underwent a remarkable transformation, beginning with the installation of MSI Soapstone Mist Quartz countertops and AZT Bianco Venatino Polished Marble tiles for the floor. These polished surfaces exude elegance, creating a luxurious foundation for the space and ensuring durability to maintain beauty over the years.
The focal point of the master bath is a Kohler Soaking Tub, perfectly positioned to take in the stunning views. The tub, paired with a Kohler Faucet and Kohler Overflow Drain, offers both style and a spa-like experience. For the shower, we installed a Kohler Shower Valve with a Kohler Rainfall Showerhead and a Kohler Hand Shower Package, creating a customizable, luxurious showering experience. Marble mosaic tiles from United Tile’s Gazzini Met White line, arranged around the tub and shower area, add texture and visual interest, harmonizing beautifully with the polished marble surfaces.
The vanity area features Grand JK S8 White Shaker cabinets paired with a MSI Undermount Sink and a Kohler Faucet, adding a clean and polished look that balances functionality with elegance. In addition, Delta Tissue Holder, Delta Robe Hook, and Delta Towel Bar offer convenience without sacrificing style.
In the Lake Bath, we maintained the cohesive design by using Pental Arabescato Quartz countertops and AZT Porcelain Tru Marmi Arabescato Matte tiles in various formats. The MSI Marble Mosaic Basket Weave II provides a unique floor accent, complementing the AZT Bianco Venatino Polished Marble Pencil trim. The Delta Shower Valve with Kohler Shower Head and Franklin Brass Tissue Holder add modern, functional touches, while the Design House Robe Hooks enhance the room’s utility.
For the Laundry Room, Pental Arabescato Quartz countertops and MSI Bergamo Herringbone Polished Marble Mosaic floors bring style and resilience to a high-use space.
The Fireplace area features an Xtrodinaire Probuilder 42 Linear Deluxe Gas Fireplace, accented by MSI Marble Mosaic Basket Weave II and AZT Bianco Venatino Polished Marble Pencil trim, creating a sophisticated focal point in the living room.
Throughout the project, meticulous attention to detail ensured that all fixtures and materials aligned perfectly. The remodel resulted in a home that balances elegance with everyday functionality, blending natural beauty and modern luxury. Our clients now enjoy a space that perfectly complements the serene lake setting, creating a sanctuary for relaxation and gatherings.
Kohler Fixtures
The Kohler shower fixtures in this bathroom remodel bring a spa-like experience into the home, combining modern aesthetics with advanced functionality. At the heart of the shower setup is the Kohler Rainfall Showerhead, known for its wide, soothing spray pattern that replicates the feel of natural rainfall. This showerhead offers an immersive experience, transforming daily routines into moments of relaxation and refreshment. Paired with Kohler’s High-Flow Shower Valve, users can enjoy a steady water flow, delivering consistent pressure and temperature for the most comfortable shower experience.
To add flexibility, the setup also includes a Kohler Hand Shower Package, which provides easy maneuverability and multiple spray options, perfect for targeted rinsing or accommodating diverse preferences. Mounted on an adjustable bar, the hand shower can be positioned to suit various heights and needs, making it especially practical for family use.
Installing the Kohler fixtures required careful planning and attention to detail. Our team ensured that the high-flow valve was compatible with the home’s plumbing system and adjusted the water lines as needed to achieve optimal pressure. Kohler’s components come with durable, high-quality materials that support long-term performance, but precise installation is key to preserving these fixtures’ functionality and appearance.
Additionally, our team incorporated concealed plumbing for a streamlined look, allowing the fixtures to be the focal point. This setup not only enhances the visual appeal of the bathroom but also simplifies maintenance by minimizing exposed elements. The combination of the rainfall showerhead, high-flow valve, and versatile hand shower makes this Kohler shower system an ideal blend of luxury and practicality, offering a fully customizable, spa-like experience at home.
