36 | summer 2014 bcliving.ca home e Bedroom e Dining Room e Bathroom OPEN CONCEPT No room in the penthouse better encapsulates the breezy West Coast lifestyle than the open master bedroom and bathroom that lead onto the patio, with its outdoor shower and hot tub. The bedroom flows easily into the bathroom, while maintaining visual privacy with a pony wall blocking off the toilet and shower area. Soroka commissioned a custom painting from Vancouver artist Ronan Boyle for over the headboard, playing off the greys, blues and whites of the horizon. WEST COAST GLAM "We wanted something really fresh," says Soroka. The subtle whites and taupes in both the durable Caesarstone countertops and the marble backsplash that extends to the ceiling repeat the beachy feel of the outdoors, and the mirrored dining table earns major glamour points. During the evening, with the lighting controls in the space, everything sparkles for an elegant look. DOUBLE DUTY The double sinks and double shower- heads mean nobody is left waiting on busy mornings, but Soroka sees the dual fixtures for more than their functionality. "It's kind of the couple's time in the morning, getting ready together," she says. "I think it's kind of special. I think it's important for the relationship."
