Universal Luxury, Bathroom Remodel
The Project Scope
The homeowner wanted to create a clean and relaxing environment for the master bath in this new construction home. Function and accessibility were extremely important, so the plan had to incorporate Universal Design Principles to truly deliver a barrier-free living space. Aesthetically, the client wanted the look and feel to fit the rest of the home with a touch of opulence to deliver a relaxing in-home get-away.
The Project Challenges
Since the room would be used by family members with diverse abilities, the layout had to be accessible and manageable for assistive devices. The layout would need to function with a ceiling lift and track system to make ease of movement throughout the space a non-issue. The space needed to be beautiful in addition to functional so selections would need to be rich and soothing, not allowing the assistive technology to outshine the interior design.
The Results
The end design of this master bath is timeless, clean, and simple. The room features a classic marble, extra-wide and extra-deep, shower with a curbless shower pan. This design provides a walk-in or roll-in entrance creating an environment that is inherently accessible to all. An added extravagance is the steam shower feature that takes this bath to the next level in luxury.
The richness of the walnut cabinetry contrasts yet complements the opulence of the marble found in the shower and maintains the look and feel of the rest of the home. The angular custom cabinets of the vanity create a refined presence and take a roll-under sink to a new level.
The ceiling lift and track system allows for more independence and addresses individualized needs to make the space truly function. The additional space on either side of the commode increases accessibility as well and the large soaker tub is the perfect finishing touch to this in-home retreat. Ultimately, this universally designed space is modern and fresh - using natural elements to create a relaxing, swoon-worthy bath.
