Celebrating Our Cover Feature in Kitchen & Bath Design News

We are honored to share that one of our recent projects has been featured on the cover of Kitchen & Bath Design News as part of their April feature, Next-Level Showers.


This issue explores how the modern shower has evolved beyond utility into something far more experiential. A place for restoration, efficiency, and daily ritual. We are proud to see our work included in this broader conversation around how thoughtful design can elevate even the most routine moments.


Led by designer Stephanie Twarowski, the featured primary bathroom reflects a shift we are seeing across many of our projects. Clients are placing greater emphasis on the shower as the focal point of the space, prioritizing both performance and atmosphere.

“Our clients are often balancing busy schedules, so the shower becomes less about lingering and more about creating a highly efficient, restorative experience. The goal was to design a space that feels expansive and calming, while layering in materials and lighting that elevate the everyday.”
Lead Designer, Stephanie Twarowski

The design in our Phoenix, Maryland, primary bath project centers on a generous walk-in shower wrapped in large-format tile, creating a seamless and immersive envelope across the walls, ceiling, and floor. A built-in bench and integrated niche introduce both function and warmth, while carefully considered lighting enhances depth, texture, and mood.


This project reflects a larger philosophy within our work. Luxury is not just about material selection, but about how a space supports the way you live. In this case, it is about transforming a daily routine into something intuitive, calming, and quietly indulgent.


We are grateful to the editorial team at Kitchen & Bath Design News for including our work, and to our clients for trusting us to bring their vision to life.
