When approached to design the stonework for a bathroom remodel in Greensboro, NC, Len Malave of Granite & Marble by Malave played upon the shape of the room for its central element — a custom shower designed with book-matched slabs — and he also utilized stone in innovative ways throughout the space.
“When the customer called me, he had gutted the bathroom himself,” Malave said. “He had taken it down to the studs. He wanted a shower, but not a tub, and he was thinking about how to lay it out. I followed the angles of the ceiling and drew it out on paper, and he said ‘Go for it.’ The shower is tucked in the corner of the room, and it is 4 feet deep and 9 feet wide. He didn’t want a shower door, either, so I put a little window in there to allow light inside.”
