Bath Room, Marble Counter, Travertine Floor, Undermount Sink, and Ceiling Lighting Architects Anne Marie Lubrano and Lea Ciavarra limited the material selection in their renovation of a town house dating from 1899. The powder room on the first floor is located in a former waiting area (the previous resident used the level for his dental practice). It features a custom Alabastro marble sink and fixtures by California Faucets. The architects kept the original marble fireplace, paying homage to the structure’s history. Benjamin Moore’s Super White paint was applied to the ceiling and the White Dove hue to the walls. "Positioning the faucets on the side wall emphasizes the horizontal," Lubrano says. "Wall-mounted fixtures feel less grounded and materials can continue uninterrupted below. We wanted the spaces to feel light, spacious and light-filled."

In a first-floor powder room designed by architects Anne Marie Lubrano and Lea Ciavarra, most of the historic details in the 1890s row house in Manhattan were retained, while ultra-modern hardware and fixtures were added. The marble-slab sink, which almost glows from the natural light streaming in through the window, is a modern counterpoint to the intricately detailed marble fireplace.
