the grid of skylights takes full advantage of the view through the trees to the Boston skyline. All furniture, including the platform bed, is from Thos. Moser’s Edo line.

There was one stair-
case that opened right
into the middle of the
space with an immov-
able chimney opposite
it; in the far corner was
another, narrow stair-
case. Removing the second staircase added floor
space for the new suite (and more usable square
footage for the level below). An existing dormer
offered enough head-
room to accommodate
a deep Duravit tub, an
oversize shower, and
a double vanity —
all framed in a large
new window offer-
ing easterly views to
the Prudential tower.
Next to this mini spa,
a water closet was
tucked under the
eaves; across from it is

Cumar's Basaltina column and floor
tiles were chosen by Patrick Planeta
and Meredith Basque of Planeta-Basque Design and by Architect Kelly
Monnahan as part of a minimalist
palette to create this extraordinary
master bath.
To emphasize the rooms round shape,
Cumar custom produced the hollow
stone column to synchronize with the
concentric circles that radiate from
the tub.
Discerning homeowners and design
professionals have always respected
the time-honored family tradition of
European stone craftsmanship which
thrives at Cumar.
