Light the candles and pour the wine because bathtubs are back
In the past five years, our clients have requested to remove their bathtubs and replace them with larger showers.
This year, more and more clients are listening to our recommendations and carving out ‘me-time’ for a hot bath!
When you are remodeling your bathroom one question you might be asking yourself is built-in versus freestanding. Whichever one you end up choosing, we guarantee you won’t regret it. The dream bathroom is pretty simple and we’ve all seen them: large, sunny bathrooms featuring a beautiful, large enough to swim tub just waiting for a bottle of wine and bubbles. There’s just no denying it, freestanding tubs are gorgeous. And sometimes they are the statement piece of the whole bathroom. Additionally, the fact that these tubs can take any design or material you want (within reason) make free-standing tubs a piece of art as well as a bathroom necessity.
Built-in tubs conserve space and can double as a shower. This can be an important factor if space is going to be an issue during your remodel. If you have room to work with then don’t worry you can upgrade your built-in tub with a variety of options.Built-in tubs can be outfitted with jets, LED lights, and sound systems. If you are looking for less flash and something more practical, you can still benefit from the potential to add more storage around the tub.
At the end of the day, both designs will fulfill their purpose of relaxation. We hope whichever one you choose will provide you with years of bubble bath perfection.

Destination Family Compounds: A Defining Luxury Trend for 2026
Luxury living in 2026 is being redefined, not by excess, but by intention. As families rethink how and where they gather, a new standard is emerging: the destination vacation family compound. These thoughtfully designed estates go beyond the traditional vacation home, offering a private, immersive environment where connection, autonomy, and legacy coexist.
Unlike resorts or single-home retreats, destination family compounds are designed to support real life across generations. A central residence anchors shared experiences, while secondary structures provide privacy and independence, allowing families to come together without sacrificing personal space. The result is a living environment that feels effortless, adaptable, and deeply personal.
At their best, these compounds are not seasonal escapes but enduring sanctuaries, places where traditions form, milestones are celebrated, and family history quietly unfolds over time.
