Evans Mill Road Basement Finishing

Materials & Finishes

Designed as a spa-like retreat beneath the main living level, the basement bathroom at this McLean residence brings together European craftsmanship and considered detail at every turn. The centerpiece is a frameless glass shower enclosure built with ½" clear tempered glass, finished with chrome Vienna wall mount hinges and a 6" chrome tubular back-to-back pull handle — a clean, architectural statement that lets the tilework take center stage. Inside the shower, Grohe fixtures set the tone: a Clubmaster handheld shower pairs with a Unica S Puro 650mm slide bar for flexible, comfortable use, while a Grohflex universal rough-in valve with pressure balance kit ensures precise, reliable water control. Chrome Starck wall outlets carry the European sensibility throughout, and thoughtfully placed grab bars add safety without sacrificing the room's refined aesthetic. The shower floor and walls feature custom homeowner-selected tile, grounded by a 4" wide Botticino marble threshold that lends a quiet note of luxury at the transition point. A barn door with specialty hardware from The Hardware Hut introduces warmth and a touch of the unexpected, balancing the room's otherwise sleek palette. ClearShield protective coating on the glass enclosure ensures the space stays as beautiful as the day it was finished.
