Serene Spaces: Squirrel Hill Primary Bath & Bedrooms
Project Details
In this second floor remodel in the Pittsburgh’s Squirrel Hill neighborhood, a spare room was transformed into a color drenched multi-functional library and game room. The homeowner wanted to create a calming retreat where she could listen to the rain so we built pocket doors into the room’s custom cabinetry which lead into a cozy reading nook with a built-in platform bed spanning wall to wall and a ceiling full of skylights. The daughter’s bedroom was transformed with vibrant wallpaper, jewel toned cabinetry, and a custom pink bed which was tied into the room with a pop of the same hue on the ceiling. Throughout the project, the design prioritized both function and fun, blending rich colors and modern features with whimsical touches that suited the family’s personality.

Features + Challenges
This second floor remodel in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh was designed to create personalized but playful updates catering to the family’s needs. The primary suite features a spacious bathroom with a Japanese soaking tub set in a tranquil wet room complete with heated flooring and enclosed in floor to ceiling glass. This serene space was designed to evoke a Zen-like atmosphere with teak accents and an earth toned pallet but with unique touches, such as pendant lighting at varying heights above the vanity and feature wall of high color variation ceramic tile. To enhance the family’s lifestyle, additional closet space, built-in storage, and pet-friendly features like cat doors and litter areas were incorporated. The entire floor was reconfigured to accommodate these new features, including a relocated laundry area to create a more practical layout.
