An organically shaped stone bath sits beneath a cascading garden overhead, which creates symmetry and removes a previous void. Biophilic elements continue throughout, with delicately tones and textured moonstone tiles laid in a herringbone pattern on the floor and offset on the walls, pill-shaped mirrors, a travertine vanity, and fluted oak cabinetry.
