Be honest, would you have a bathroom like this at home? 👀

The Otis II Residence main bathroom is complete. This phase was shaped by decisions we made much earlier, including planning the plumbing during phase one so this transformation could happen without disrupting the rest of the home.

Every detail was designed to feel connected to the original character of the house. Arches carry through the space, from the vanity to the mirror and into the shower. Custom oak screens create privacy around the tub, while still keeping the room open. Even the skylight was repositioned to sit perfectly centered above it.

You can tell a lot of thought went into every part of this space.

The main bathroom and walk-in closet of Otis II, where every detail was considered so you never have to think about it.
This is what intentional living looks like.

This part of the main bathroom is all about rethinking how space is used.

What used to be an extra office, mostly collecting clutter, is now being transformed into part of the primary suite bathroom.

The skylight is being relocated to sit centered above the soaking tub, creating a more balanced focal point.

And around it, the design begins to take shape.

A custom arched niche is being built as the backdrop for the tub, tying into the same architectural language carried throughout the home. With backlighting and a cork stone finish, it’s meant to bring warmth and a softer ambiance into the space.

Would you have kept this as an office, or made the switch too?

At the Otis Residence, this phase is about getting it right, not rushing it.

The primary bathroom and walk-in closet were intentionally left for later, creating the opportunity to rethink how these spaces should actually function day to day.

The focus isn’t just on finishes, but on the experience being built.

The shower is being designed to go beyond the expected, with dual shower heads and a large rain head that will bring a more immersive, spa-like feel. Custom arches and soft curves are being carried through the space, along with a two-tone tile and a full-height glass enclosure to define the layout.

The vanity is also coming together as a central element, with a fully custom double vanity, curved walnut doors and a backlit mirror that will add depth without overwhelming the space.

This is what it looks like when design is given the time to be intentional.

Render or real?

We’ve shared this project before, but this time we want you to take a closer look.

Each image has a number. Your job is simple: figure out which ones are renderings and which ones are real.

Drop your guesses in the comments, we’ll share the answers soon.

This is what happens when a project is clearly defined from the start, the final result follows the same vision.

Wrapping up the Otis recap.

This space used to be completely overlooked, and now it’s one of the most used areas in the home. The wet bar, the dining area, and the kitchen all came together in a way that completely changed how the homeowners use the space day to day.

Opening up the kitchen made room for two islands, and that Nordic White quartzite became one of the highlights of the entire project.

If you remember where this started, you know how much this space has transformed. Keep this one in mind, because next week we’re coming back to this project with something new.

A look at the Roseanna Park kitchen.

This is the direction we planned for the space, built around a large central island that anchors the layout and creates room for everyday use and gathering.

The design focuses on balancing form and function, creating a space that feels beautiful but also works for the rhythm of a young family.

The mix of stone, wood, and soft cabinetry adds warmth and contrast throughout the space, while the darker surfaces bring balance to the lighter tones.

With natural light coming in from multiple directions, the entire area feels open, bright, and easy to move through.

Quick throwback before we show what’s next at Otis.

This foyer took real work. The plaster team actually had to create a custom tool just to achieve the detail that wraps from the walls into the barrel vault ceiling, and that alone took weeks to get right.

This is also one of those projects where the client came back to continue working with us, so it felt right to revisit where it all started.

We’ll get into the kitchen next, and then share what’s coming in part two next week.

We’re out here running a test pit and this is where things start to get interesting.

You can actually see the groundwater coming in at the bottom of the pit, that’s how we define exactly where that level sits.

From there, it’s all about the soil. Taking it by hand, breaking it down and seeing how it behaves. In this case, it’s more granular, which is exactly what you want because it allows water to move through it.

That’s what tells us how the infiltration system is going to perform and where it needs to go so all the roof runoff from the in-law apartment is handled properly.
