About This Project

The Stanwood Estate

Material & Feature Breakdown

The bathroom floor features medium-sized (12x12) marble tiles in a diagonal layout, showcasing a blend of gray and white tones with a honed, smooth surface and straight edges. The shower walls use small 3x6 marble subway tiles, also in gray and white, installed in a classic stacked pattern with matching honed finishes and straight edges. The shower floor continues the use of 3x6 marble subway tiles for visual continuity, leveraging thin gray grout lines for clean definition. All tile surfaces display the natural veining and depth that define real marble, providing a unifying elegant aesthetic across the bathroom's various zones.

This bathroom, part of The Stanwood Estate by Cummings Architecture + Interiors in Ipswich, MA, blends transitional and traditional design cues through its careful use of honed marble surfaces. Light gray veining, a sophisticated diagonal layout on the floor, and timeless subway tiles in the shower bring together a look that is both classic and current. The space feels bright and refined, perfectly balancing understated luxury with everyday livability, elevating the feel of a private sanctuary.
