Western Living: Bathroom Design

Tip 4 : Get Smart with your Window Choices

Knight Varga transforms a West Vancouver glass-box ensuite with a high-tech twist.

In a Knight Varga project, natural light is always welcome… even in a home’s most intimate spaces. “This ensuite had ample light through large windows, which we loved; but we really had to think about privacy,” explains co-principal Trish Knight. Blinds would be impractical; drapes too, of course. So the design team went high-tech with their solution for this glass-box West Vancouver bathroom, installing smart glass that frosts over at the touch of a button. Now the homeowners can enjoy their oversized, smoked-glass shower (kitted out with dual handheld sprayers and a rain showerhead) and their modesty all in one go.
