Featured Design Element: Hidden Powder Rooms
When we first wrote this blog post title, we accidentally left off the “d” in “powder,” and so it said “hidden power rooms.” To which we giggled, because what’s a hidden power room, you know? But then we realized the cosmic coincidence of this typographical mistake, because hidden powder rooms are hidden power rooms, or at the very least very powerful spaces, because they take an unpleasant room and make it invisible. It seems that some architects might possess some super powers that we never knew about.
Today’s example comes from Hugh Jefferson Randolph Architects (which you may remember from last week’s sweet condo post). They took a modern house and made it super modern by installing a space-efficient, sleek, good-looking powder room underneath some stairs. Why is this impressive and worth mentioning? Because these types of spaces are indicative of the power of good design: making use of every inch of space, not wasting materials and creating usefulness and function where there was once nothing. And doing all of that as unobtrusively as possible. Man architecture is super cool. Read more about Hugh Jefferson Randolph Architects here.
