The master bathroom of this house continues the concrete and grey face brick theme with brick openings for ventilation and views. This bathroom and the attic bath have planting areas, offering an awesome green contrast to the grey scheme.

The concrete and brick geometry of this house also can be seen in the study, family, and living room where there are custom storage units used to beautify the interior. It is an amazing house where different materials are combined to create a special character for its building.
