Bathrooms
can soothe
the soul and
inspire envy
A signature bathroom?
elite Development Northwest
may
very well have one.
The design is an all-inclusive one that
transforms the master bathroom into
one expansive spa bathroom and walk-
in closet.
“Oh, I love the bathroom in our
home,” says
Jamie Harris
, co-owner
of Elite Development Northwest, the
builder behind the
Cuvée
home on this
year’s NW Natural Street of Dreams. “I
just love the feeling of being able to
walk in and have that big open closet
and this beautiful shower and bath-
room all right there.”
The master bath is indeed impres-
sive in
Cuvée
, all 25-feet-by-22-feet of
it. The dressing portion is lined with
double doors and outfitted with a built-
in dresser, bench, island and skylights,
all under exposed timber beams. The
bathroom is centered around a brick
wall and features a white tub, a walk-
through shower with slab granite walls
and a natural boulder for a seat, in-wall
Toto toilets, dual vanities, chandeliers
and more. Harris doesn’t take claim for
coming up with the all-in-one design,
but she does think Elite has added its
own stamp to it.
“It’s definitely one of our signatures,”
