Phillip Markham’s Brewer Bath was awarded Best Bath in the 2011 CHENG Concrete Circle of Distinction Design Challenge by judges Fu-Tung Cheng, designer (Cheng Design, Cheng Products, CHENG Concrete), Robert Brunner, industrial designer (Ammunition Group, Fuego), and Dan Gregory, editor and writer (Houseplans.com).
A perfect balance of design and materials, this modern bath is washed in natural light and yet bold and monumental in form. Large, superbly crafted pieces of concrete establish a dramatic presence of stately mass in this residence. The feather grey concrete tub surround, vanity counter, and shower bench all add to the cool and serene feel of the modern bath that help to focus on the real beauty of the space—lush, vibrant woods framed by the picture window behind the luxurious soaking tub.
