A spacious low-curb walk-in shower now occupies the former site of the side-by-side washer and dryer. “It was pretty obvious the washer and dryer were front and center and the shower was so tiny,” Gordon says. “We had to rescue that space back.”

The shower features a custom glass enclosure with an unlacquered brass finish. On the walls, 2-by-2-inch mosaic zellige tiles crafted from natural Moroccan clay cover the upper half, while 4-by-4-inch moss green zellige tiles from the same manufacturer line the lower half. “When you have a tiny space, you can expand it a bit by creating an illusion that the bottom of the shower is smaller than the top,” Gordon says.

The shower floor is laid in cream-colored honed natural stone mosaic tiles in a jasmine flower pattern with gold dots. The exposed thermostatic shower head with hand shower has the unlacquered polished brass finish found elsewhere in the space. Crema Marfil marble reappears on the shower curb, the built-in corner bench top and as a liner for a long niche. A hook just outside the shower entrance keeps a robe or towel within easy reach.
