The Project

Located in the serene Manchaca area of South Austin, this residential bathroom underwent a complete transformation. The objective was to elevate a standard layout into a high-end, modern retreat through a rigorous commitment to material quality and craftsmanship. The scope included a full demolition followed by the installation of floor-to-ceiling tile, new hexagon flooring, and a completely redesigned shower and vanity area.

The Challenge

Implementing floor-to-ceiling tiling presents a significant technical challenge: maintaining perfect vertical and horizontal alignment across multiple planes. Any minor deviation at the base would become an obvious structural flaw as the tile reached the ceiling. Additionally, integrating a custom shower niche into the subway tile pattern required precise layout planning to ensure the grout lines remained continuous and aesthetically pleasing.

The Solution

Our team utilized advanced green-beam laser leveling systems to establish a flawless datum line throughout the room. We wrapped the walls in a sophisticated grey subway tile, creating a seamless and expansive feel. To contrast the linear walls, we installed new hexagon tile flooring, adding geometric interest and texture. The renovation was completed with a custom-fitted vanity and all-new, high-performance fixtures. The result is a cohesive, durable, and visually striking bathroom that reflects the modern aesthetic of South Austin living.

Custom-fitted vanities from TX Cabinet Pros allow for precise reveal calibration and seamless integration with your floor-to-ceiling tile layout.

Our layout planning process involves rigorous mapping of grout lines before the first tile is set. For this Manchaca sanctuary project, we precisely calculated the custom shower niche placement to ensure continuous, aesthetically pleasing grout lines that align perfectly with the surrounding subway tile pattern.
A comprehensive overhaul—including full demolition, precision tile installation, and custom millwork—typically requires a 4 to 6 week window once layout planning is finalized.
