When Richard Medina of Fellowship Homes approached this primary bathroom in a custom Rio Rancho Estates home, his focus was on packing in as many amenities as possible into the modest footprint. The homeowners sought a luxurious space, and Medina delivered with a neutral—yet awe-inspiring—palette boasting texture and pattern. The ash stained, knotty birch cabinetry is rich and warm. Heavily veined countertops mesh perfectly with the herringbone floor tile and striated inset. Medina opted for a built-in tub for efficiency and heat retention, and to make the space feel like a hotel-style retreat, he included a beverage station with sink, beverage refrigerator and coffee maker. “I’m proud of the number of amenities we were able to include in this small footprint,” Medina says. “A two-person soaking tub, double vanity with makeup station—all with a custom built-in feel.”
