The Space Before
In a 2000 built luxury townhouse in north Richland, this bath was spacious, but was appointed with standard builder-grade features. The vanity was really too small for double sinks and the sinks were too close to the walls. With the toilet compartment and shower walls, the space felt much smaller than it really was. The tile floors were cold and the style and colors felt blaze'. Click on an any image to enlarge
Design Plans
The owners had not used the tub and really just wanted a nice spacious shower that was very safe to enter, stand, and maneuver in, regardless of their mobility, as they aged-in-place. They felt the enclosed toilet compartment would be an impediment as their mobility changed and especially in the event they ever needed help. A larger vanity, with more counter space and more storage along with nicer features, style, and color pizazz were also on their list. Before After
