Twice the view
This high-end master ensuite looks through other rooms to capture its sea views
There ’ s a limit – even in a house perched right next to the ocean , not every room can enjoy front row access to the sea views . But as this project shows , there ’ s another way .
Classic and elegant , this master suite forms part of a beachside , Cape Cod-style home by house designer Mark Wilson .
“ Just as the exterior is true to the iconic American seaside aesthetic – with its eyebrow and round windows , dormers , and detailed frieze board mouldings – so too is the interior accurate to the style ,” says Wilson . “ Hand-worked cabinets feature in many areas , particularly the kitchen , and this detailed artisanal look extends into the main ensuite with cabinet fronts each comprised of nine pieces of wood .
Positioned at the corner of the house for maximum exposure to the scenery , the master bedroom has panoramic windows on two fronts , while the adjacent day room also enjoys a wall of windows .
Rather than have an inward-looking , windowless ensuite , Wilson designed the suite so the bathroom ’ s occupants can look out through internal windows to the day room ’ s external windows to the views , and through another window and large wall opening to the bedroom and its views . A pocket slider can close off the ensuite from the bedroom while wooden shutters on both internal windows can be closed for further privacy – but most of the time the ocean is on show .
However , exquisite woodworking and access to multiple sea views aren ’ t the only features of this luxurious ensuite .
