Glossy Green Glow
Before + After
The Program
This contemporary main bathroom remodel transformed a narrow, landlocked space into a bright, inviting retreat. MAK removed a partition that blocked skylight access, incorporated ambient and motion-activated lighting, and used vibrant Heath tiles to enhance light reflection and add pops of green color. The reimagined layout includes a private water closet with integrated cabinetry and a spacious shower featuring a green mosaic tile floor. Thoughtful design and layered lighting create a space that feels open and bright, making the absence of windows hardly noticeable.
“We began working with MAK Design + Build to remodel our master suite just about the end of the first COVID spring 2020 shutdown. Our weekly design meetings with Anthony via Zoom went very smoothly, it was easy to see the remodel taking shape. Anthony is a very creative designer, and patient while we considered different details! We are thrilled with all the results, the entire house has been transformed. Robert, our project manager, kept everything on schedule despite challenges with delays in shipping materials and times when juggling subcontractor work was needed, all while adhering to COVID safety protocols. We enjoyed working with everyone at MAK throughout this process. We give our highest recommendation and would call on them again for future projects.”

Brightening Things Up
Given the fact the bathroom was landlocked, making the new space feel as light and bright as possible was a priority. To achieve this, MAK designers incorporated various layers of light by adding ambient lighting throughout, taking away the partition that split the skylight to allow for more natural light to stream in, and using vibrant, reflective Heath accent tiles in the space. The Heath tiles were used in all of the accent niches throughout the bathroom. The tile was used in various hues and sizes to create a green tile mosaic on the shower floor.
Hidden Brilliance
In remodeling, the best details are often those you don’t immediately notice. To achieve a light and streamlined look, the designers prioritized clean, uninterrupted lines. For example, instead of traditional hardware, the MAK team integrated the shower glass by crafting a rabbet in the quartz top and grooving the wall tiles, allowing the glass to appear free-floating atop the pony wall.
Another clever feature is the hidden seam drain in the walk-in shower, seamlessly disguised as a grout line among the stacked Heath ceramic tiles in varying green hues. These subtle design choices blend form and function beautifully.
