2011 EcoHome Design Award Winner

Key to the successful design were the homeowner priorities of family health, energy performance, and optimizing the walk-to-town construction site. To maintain health and air quality, the home features a fresh air ventilation system with energy recovery, a whole house HEPA filtration system, radiant & radiator heating distribution, and low/no VOC materials. The home’s energy performance focuses on passive heating/cooling techniques, natural daylighting, an improved building envelope, and efficient mechanical systems, collectively achieving overall energy performance of 50% better than code. To address the site opportunities, the home utilizes a footprint that maximizes southern exposure in the rear while still capturing the park view in the front.

Sink Shelf - This sink shelf is perfect! How does it mount to the wall and where did you get it? Thanks! »
· Comment · 7 weeks ago
ZeroEnergy Design The vessel is from Waterworks and mounted into the custom counter of Carrara marble.



To support the counter there are metal brackets bolted to the wall studs, that only protrude underneath the slab. They are not flush, but are not easily visible.

tile - Hi, First of all I love this bathroom! We are doing a master bath addition. I am having trouble finding the floor tile. Should I contact Best TIle? I live in Southern CA. Is the brand Edimax? What is geologica...color? I can't find it anywhere. Also, is the stonewood natural stone planking the color, or is there a specific color you used here? Thanks, Megan »

Electrical & Spacing - I love this concept! How do you work the lights/electrical? How much room did you allow for the shower area? »
· Comment · 14 months ago
ZeroEnergy Design The light switch and GFI electrical outlet are near the sink, out of camera view. The lights themselves are ceiling mounted. The room width was based upon ADA guidelines, with a radius of movement taking into account the toilet and counter top placement.

Ok, so you take a shower and then 30 minutes later someone needs to use the toilet. Do you have to wipe the toilet and floor down after every shower? I'm just trying to think through the logistics of a bathroom like this. I've always thought they would save so much space, but then everything is wet and I end up with little storage in the room itself. Any thoughts of this? »

Lisa K. Tharp - K. Tharp Design Hi Nicole and brecarroll.

Thank you for stopping by.

The toilet paper is on a floor stand, which just moves under the far end of the vanity counter for showering or magazine photographers. :)

The use of space works extremely well, and is far more practical than one would expect. In fact, I think almost every home could benefit from trading out first floor Powder Rooms for what I like to call Power Rooms, and try to convince all of my clients to consider this swap. So much functionality in so little space. This set up can be used for daily showering, cleaning recycling bins, muddy boots, pets (if one has them - this bath does not), etc. etc. etc.

My favorite part is that it can accommodate all individuals, regardless of specific needs, and still look beautiful and inviting.

Good luck!

Lisa

Jennifer Jameson This would make a great pool bath. FYI-they make wall mounted toilet paper holders that have flap/shield to protect from water.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
What would usually be a first floor powder room has instead become a full, ADA wheelchair-accessible bathroom complete with a shower. "The bathroom is detailed like a big shower; a European-style wet room," Horowitz explains. "The walls are completely covered in tile, and they slope toward a floor drain. Because the room is so beautifully finished, you don't feel like you are walking into a big shower stall," says Horowitz. The wall-hung toilet saves space and makes cleaning a breeze. A few eco-friendly moves include a dual-flush toilet and using a piece of scrap marble for the counter.Another bonus: It's a great place to wash the dog!

You can go even more extreme and create a fully watertight wet room. The handheld showerhead lets you hose it down and go. In fact, handheld showerheads are a real help in cleaning your shower even if you have a more conventional-style bathroom. Get one with a nice long hose.
added by Samantha Schoech to Make a Tiny Bathroom Work Wonders
With the right materials (such as tile and stone), you can make even a strange, cramped space into a beautiful and functional bathroom. Mopping this floor must be a cinch.

Like the wall stone, the curved edge of the countertop, the dual flush wall mounted toilet and the shower arm. Don't like the vessel sink under mounted would be better. Don't like the faucet, a far less ornate style would have been better. Don't like the wood frame mirror no frame or aluminium would be better. Not certain about the combination of white subway tile and stone wainscotting. For ease of cleaning the stone slabs or are they tiles? Would have chosen a different shower floor tile in the brown family, still providing a contrast but not such as departure from the color family.
