We’re back at our Towson project — and this one’s come a long way since our last visit. What started as two separate bathrooms has been completely reimagined into a spacious, shared primary suite bath designed for comfort, symmetry, and functionality.
In this episode, JP walks through the nearly finished space — featuring dual vanities, a large shared shower, a soaking tub, and two private water closets — while highlighting how the team solved a structural flooring issue to ensure long-term stability beneath the new large-format tile.
As the project moves into its final trim-out phase, JP talks about the importance of site walkthroughs, fine-tuning details, and maintaining the craftsmanship and quality that define every Smithouse build.
Watch now to see how thoughtful design and precision construction come together to create a truly exceptional primary bath.
VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:
Hey guys, we’re back out here at our Towson project. If you remember, the last time we were here we were in rough framing and mechanical trim-outs. Let’s head inside and see where we’re at now. We’ll continue going through the window till the end of this project so we don’t have to track materials through the rest of the house.
There’s been a lot of progress since our last visit. When this client first came to us, the space consisted of two separate bathrooms. They wanted to maintain the functionality of two baths but also create a shared space for themselves. They worked with our design team through a few different layouts, and this is where they landed.
The result is a beautiful, spacious shared bath featuring a large shower and a shared tub, two separate water closets, dual vanities on each side, and two separate closets in the back. It’s a great design solution that balances shared and private spaces perfectly.
If you remember from our last visit, the floor had a bit of bounce to it. We took care of that by framing a wall below after discovering the floor joists were under-supported. With large-format tile going in, it was important to get that structure right before finishing.
Right now, we’re most of the way through and heading into final trim-outs. This is one of my favorite points in a project — when I meet up with the site superintendent to walk the space, go over every detail with a fine-tooth comb, and flag any small items for correction. It’s how we ensure that, at the end of the project, the craftsmanship meets the quality we expect and are known for.
All right, that’ll do it for us here today. Looking forward to seeing you on the next one — don’t forget to come back.
