Flavin Architects Showroom Favorites – August 2025
A Note From Jason

80 Looks Good on Us!
Hi everyone,
This August, we proudly celebrated a milestone few businesses ever reach—80 years in business! Only about 3% of family-owned companies make it this far, and we couldn’t have done it without you.
To show our gratitude, we’re launching our biggest sale of the year:
🎉 80 FOR 80 – 80 hours of incredible savings over 2 weeks!
- Early Access for Friends & Family starts TODAY
- Public sale runs Monday, Aug. 18 – Friday, Aug. 29
This is our way of saying thank you for supporting us over eight decades. Your loyalty has allowed us to hire the best people in the business, win awards, and continue delivering excellence in service and product knowledge.
Our journey began with my grandfather, Bill, whose vision built our company’s foundation. My dad, Ralph, expanded our horizons with our first showroom and offered decorative fixtures. Since then, every team member—past and present—has added their talent, passion, and personality to our story. The common thread? Dedication, and a genuine commitment to making customers happy—the secret sauce behind our reputation.
Over the years, we’ve had challenges, triumphs, and plenty of lessons learned. But each chapter has shaped us into the company we are today: one that serves homeowners, designers, builders, architects, and plumbers with pride.
Speaking of architects, I’d like to congratulate Heather Souza of Flavin Architects, a talented designer we’ve had the pleasure of working with recently, on being named principal of the firm—well deserved!
Here’s to 80 years of history, and to an even brighter future—together.
See you at the sale!

President, Designer Bath & Salem Plumbing Supply

Heather Souza, Principal at Flavin Architects, joined the firm in 2013 and has advanced from Senior Designer to her current leadership role. As a full-service firm specializing in contemporary residential design, Flavin Architects guides clients through every step of the process—from initial schematic design through the completion of construction. Within the firm, Heather heads up the Project Construction Documents & Construction Phase. One of her most valued contributions lies in her ability to build strong client relationships and understand their intentions, allowing her to shape the project in a way that best elevates the client’s way of living.


AXOR HAND SHOWER WAND
It is typical for every shower we design to include a handshower. One can’t argue with the added convenience a handshower offers, both in bathing and for ease of cleaning. What makes the Axor Starck baton handshower unique is its MonoRain spray pattern, similar to that of a sink faucet.
MTI TUB WITH VIRTUAL SPOUT
This MTI Tub is a great solution for many reasons. The wider edge profile gives the user a place to perch, which is impossible to do on the typical thin edge tubs. It comes in both a high-gloss and smooth matte finish. It offers design flexibility; it can be freestanding or an alcove with 1, 2, or 3 sides. It also offers a generous soaking depth. We also love the virtual spout! It’s a discreet alternative to the traditional filler spout.

ROBERN UPLIFT MEDICINE CABINET
I am always looking for ways to improve the end-user experience, and this Robern Uplift Medicine Cabinet does that. Typical vertical hinged medicine cabinets can get in the way of one’s daily routine, especially if the space is being shared and one needs to get into the cabinet while another is in front of the sink. Our design aesthetic at Flavin, with clean and modern detailing, often includes tall ceilings with single-slope roofs, which can easily accommodate the uplift style medicine cabinet.
GRAFF SHOWER SYSTEM
The simple and minimal design of these pieces is what drew me to the Graff Shower System. At Flavin Architects, we love to work with user-friendly shower products. We try to avoid complications when putting together a shower design. We love that one can set their preferred water temperature and use the volume control to adjust water pressure.


ARTELINEA VANITY IN CASHMERE SILK GLASS
Ever wonder what inspires a designer to choose the items we do? Easy, this Artelinea Vanity matched my outfit. Just kidding! I loved this vanity product for two reasons: its unique finishes and the interior fit-out is well-executed.
