Bathroom Sanctuaries — completed project by CBA Design & Build
The Brief

More than an update — a considered approach to the work.

A primary bath is the room the day begins and ends in. We design bathrooms with the proportions of a small chapel and the engineering of a Swiss watch — quiet plumbing, level floors, drains that drain.

Freestanding tubs sited for the view. Steam showers with proper benches, niches, and slope. Radiant stone floors zoned by room. Toilets concealed behind millwork. Vanities at the height of the actual user. Every joint detailed; every surface sealed; every drain pitched.

What’s Included

Six disciplines
under one roof.

A complete project is not one workstream — it is a dozen, played in concert. We conduct all twelve.

i.

Wet-room engineering

Hot mop or sheet-membrane waterproofing, properly pitched drains, and curbless showers that stay dry on the wrong side.

ii.

Stone & tile

Hand-selected slabs, book-matched walls, large-format floors, and grout joints we are not embarrassed by.

iii.

Custom millwork

Vanities, linen towers, and water-closet doors in inset cabinetry — built in the shop, hung on-site.

iv.

Steam & sauna

Proper steam generators, hardwood saunas, and the ventilation to keep both the room and the rest of the house dry.

v.

Radiant heat

Stone floors warm in February. Zoned by room and on a programmable schedule.

vi.

Plumbing fixtures

Premium fittings — specified, plumbed, and detailed to last.

The Method

Four chapters — each one planned,
scheduled, and kept.

01

Conversation

We measure the room and discuss the rituals — bath in the morning, shower at night, two sinks or one.

02

Design

Plans, elevations, sections through every wet wall. Tile and stone samples laid up dry before a thin-set bag opens.

03

Build

Demolition, framing, waterproofing, mechanical rough, then the careful, quiet finish work that takes longer than the rough.

04

Reveal & Care

Walk-through, sealing, fixture registration, and a final follow-up.

A few honest questions,
answered.

How long does a primary bath remodel take?

It depends on the scope. A straightforward refit moves quickly; steam showers and structural changes add time. We’ll give you a realistic schedule once we’ve seen the room.

Can a curbless shower really stay dry?

Yes — with the right slope, the right linear drain, and the right waterproofing. The key is getting all three right at the same time.

Do you handle radiant heat?

Yes. Electric mat or hydronic, depending on the room. We size the load, route the thermostat, and integrate it with the rest of the home’s heating where it makes sense.
