This bathroom renovation in New Westminster, BC was designed to create a calm, immersive space centered around one idea: a place to unwind beneath the stars. The homeowners had always envisioned a bath positioned under a skylight, so the entire layout was reimagined to bring that experience to life. By relocating fixtures and aligning the tub beneath both the window and new skylight, the space now captures natural light during the day and offers a quiet, starlit view at night. The shower was thoughtfully integrated into the same zone, allowing the compact footprint to feel open while still functioning comfortably for daily use.
An arched opening frames the bathing area, drawing your eye upward and reinforcing a sense of symmetry and balance. Soft, reflective tile paired with warm textures helps the space feel light and layered, while subtle detailing keeps the focus on the experience itself. Every element was carefully coordinated—from the alignment of the skylight to the placement of the window and tile—resulting in a modern bathroom renovation that feels calm, cohesive, and designed to turn everyday routines into something more intentional.
