Above the wide trough sink and embedded in the stone wall are twin waterfall faucets.
This master bath, contained within the master suite of this Manhattan penthouse, features glass walls on three sides that turn opaque at the flick of a switch. The judges were impressed with the inventive application of a liquid crystal display (LCD) wall system, and for the sleek design details that were used in tandem with the privacy glass: inset rain shower head, recessed tub with steps, and custom vanity with a wide trough sink and waterfall faucets. For its bold and hi-tech attitude, this master bath earned an Award of Merit.
