Every project at Reynard Architectural Designs begins with a unique vision. When working with architect James Knight, our goal is to translate that vision into a structural reality that balances form and function. Nowhere is this balance more critical than in the bathroom—a space that requires precision in materials and a grand perspective in style.


We are often asked, "Which style is right for my home?" The answer lies in your core values: Do you crave the warmth of natural walnut, the industrial edge of "cabin-chic" shiplap, or the sleek symmetry of a contemporary suite?


Today, we’re showcasing six diverse bathroom designs from our recent custom builds to help you identify the features that speak to your soul.
