Drakes Bay Ave – Bathroom Remodel – San Jose, CA
Los Gatos, CA | October 7, 2025
The homeowners wanted to fully renovate both their master and guest bathrooms to better reflect their taste for clean, elegant design and elevated comfort.

Project Scope: Complete remodel of two bathrooms with a focus on modern luxury, material consistency, and spa-level finishes.

- Fixture Coordination: Coordinating high-end gold fixtures with tile, lighting, and cabinetry elements to ensure everything matched seamlessly.
Objectives
- Introduce premium materials and modern finishes throughout.
- Improve lighting and airflow while maintaining privacy.
- Make both bathrooms feel distinct, yet part of the same design language.
