"The bathrooms were the only other 'events' we wanted in the structure of the house," Balaban says.

The white profiles of the tub and sinks also stand out nicely against the dark background. Tuan and Jean-François selected the graphic wallpapers for each bathroom once the house took shape and they also chose the faucets."
