When Andre Rothblatt’s clients, a San Francisco couple from the tech business, asked him to present their powder area steampunk design, he had to Google the word. But poring over images that he states “celebrate the industrial age of technology, such as the steam locomotion, using a retro-future slant” appealed to him immediately. He quickly caught on and concentrated on four key elements: pipes, gears, gauges and a sense of comedy, incorporating all into the powder room.

Rothblatt essentially tried to exaggerate the pipes as much as possible. However, he wanted to make. There’s nothing in the distance that does not serve a purpose — a Rube Goldberg–esque intent.

Copper pipes zigzag and cross one another. The bigger one is that the drain; the bigger is that the distribution line. Ragnar Boresen at The Sink Factory in Berkeley, California, helped create the design utilizing off-the-shelf pipes.

This indicator actually measures and displays water pressure. The aluminum pipes and their patina influenced the choice of Victorian-style wallpaper.

The sink is aluminum, and the tap is copper-plated chrome. Rothblatt made the sconces, which Jim Misner constructed. Frederic Grasset has been the general contractor for your job.

While the remainder of the house is done in a very simple style that reflects its Craftsman roots, the kitchen faucet certainly nods into the steampunk aesthetic.

Go for gears. Sure, tech today is pretty great, but you can’t see anything. What is going on within an iPhone?
Rothblatt claims the steampunk appeal is in the fact that from the Industrial Revolution times, the technology has been in mind, using spewing steam and cranking gears. Steampunk design romanticizes that aesthetic.

Get a dirigible. Don’t ask me why, but zeppelins and other dirigibles are highly distinguished by steampunks. Could be the whole hot-air thing.

Embrace gauges and gadgets. Steampunk is all about analog technologies pushed into the outer realms of creativity. Bulky cast iron contraptions from the 1930s should be displayed prominently.
Fashion suggestion: A high hat and aviator goggles should be in your repertoire.
