Rooms to Rest and Refresh
The Mens & Womens Restrooms in the Studio School
Annmarie Garden Staff and Volunteers
Annmarie Garden Collection
Using discarded tiles and other donated materials, the unusual bathrooms of Annmarie Garden were created by volunteers and staff, with a little help from the some installation professionals. No design was established beforehand, participants were simply encouraged to show their mood and let their creative energy flow. The only stipulation was that the walls had to completely covered from floor to ceiling. The results of this improvisational project are perhaps the most artistic restrooms you will ever visit. These elaborately tiled bathrooms are a refreshing stop for body and soul.
The bathrooms were made possible by: Choice Home Center of Dunkirk, Chapman Tile of Prince Frederick, International Tile & Marble Company of Capitol Heights, Tile by Fred, Rick Howard, Donald Stockton, Waldorf Marble, and Walls Plumbing.
Outstanding Volunteers: Pat Buehler, Sue Apple, Lynn Thomas, Donald Stockton, Fred Allen, Denny Murray, Greg Nottingham, Lee Fowling, Rick and Gail Howard, and Francoise Yohalem.
