I'd think long and hard about the difference between age-in-place friendly and wheelchair accessible, and which you really want and need. Do you have any ailment already that may predict the need for a wheelchair? Only 7% of elders use wheelchairs. It is a very small segment of the population.

What is much more common is the need for assisted walking devices, grab bars, a place to sit, arthritis friendly handles, easy reach shower hoses heads. And a much wider range of buyers will appreciate those features.

Additionally, even wheelchair accessible bathrooms need not follow all ADA codes. ADA codes are made for the general public and to be most universal. What people using wheelchairs in their homes really need are fixtures and heights that meet their particular stature and height when in a wheel chair, not that of the average public restroom user.

do you have a scale drawing of he space you are considering for this bathroom?

The water closet alone will take up a lot of space.

I added a picture. Wife want's an L shaped shower for pivacy and the private toilet. this is a barndominium so she wants a loft above the master suite. She also wants all pocket doors because they dont take up wall space I'm not sure if that maters. Also I have to adjust that pantry and walk in closet for more space. It will be for aging in but because the wife had to use a wheelchair once she is concerned for future life if it happens.

So she doesn't want you to see her showering?

There are many flaws in your plan if you are designing this with aging in place.

Pocket doors only provide minimal privacy. Your wife won't mind if you hear all of her bathroom noises? In addition, pocket doors are difficult to use with weak hand strength or loss of dexterity. Much easier to grab a lever and push a door. Is her plan that the doors would always be open and rarely closed?

The hall way to the laundry has several turns and narrow doorways if you are moving a laundry basket thru on your lap in a wc. Why not closer to the master also?

What is the intent of the open area next to the vanity in the master?

Closet in corner bedroom really is a reach in closet. After walls are up, there will only be 1.5 feet to walk down. Might be more functional with bifold or sliding doors.

Double doors are also difficult to use at the front door. In your picture , the right hand door will also be jutting into the living area in the way. I have had double doors and felt they were difficult to use and would not want to attempt it from a sitting position. Maybe they are better now though.

THe loft idea confuses me with ADA requirements.

Just want to say I had privacy-glass pocket doors installed for my bedroom and only bathroom when I bought and gutted this 50's ranch a little over 10 years ago. I love them! Mine glide open with the most minimal touch, but they are very heavy doors with beefy pocket door roller tracks.

The loft would be for storage

Are you placing your kitchen sinks, kitchen countertops, pantry cabinets, island at wheelchair height? Are you placing one bathroom vanity at wheelchair height? Are you accounting for all door handles, locks, window locks and handles at wheelchair height? Are you accounting for the pantry shelving to be less than 17" deep and closet space to be used at lower height?

Im just drawing it out the way it would be right now and if they ever need it they can remodel it but realy I think its going to be an age in house.

No toilet room in a ADA bathroom to start . A shower will need to be curbless and quite large . ADA includes the whole home, every doorway for sure, the entry into the home too. Pocket doors not great for wheel chairs either .I would sugget you go online and read about ADA compliant construction it is not just as simple as you think. Kendrah is right as to how far you take this . ADA compliant spaces are not often good resale ideas .

The ADA applies only to public buildings in the USA. It does not apply to private homes. That is not to say that you shouldn't consider the needs of disabled persons when planning your home, whether for yourselves or for guests. I'm just pointing out that the Americans with Disabilities Act is not relevant to your design. Universal design principles, however, may well be relevant, and you may want to investigate them. They can be useful for many types of disabilities, not just mobility issues.

I don't understand why your wife is concerned about where a loft is situated. Should she (or you) ever require a wheelchair, the loft will be inaccessible unless you have installed an elevator or perhaps a stairlift to get to it. You might consider those options in your planning.

First thought: Why was your wife in a wheelchair? Is it something that's likely to return? Few people are (permanently) in wheelchairs simply because of aging.

These goals don't really mesh with your overall goal of an ADA master bath. Thoughts:

- Toilets in closets really go against the concept of disability-friendly. Opening a door and maneuvering into a small space, then closing the door behind you is all pretty complicated with mobility issues.

- The toilet closet you've drawn is 4'10" deep -- I strongly suggest you drop a measuring tape in your purse and starting measuring toilet stalls in public places. Determine for yourself which ones feel comfortable vs. cramped. Spoiler: All the 4'10" deep stalls will be cramped.

- The toilet closet you've shown has no window /natural light. This is poor planning.

- Consider instead a toilet placed behind a pony wall at the end of the vanity. It'll be easier to access and easier to keep clean.

- Two details you absolutely want for your aging-in-place toilet: 1) Storage. All my grandparents + my stepfather all developed (common) health problems that required "stuff" at the toilet. It's smart to go ahead and allow space for a cabinet of some sort within reach of the toilet. 2) Plenty of light.

- And a detail that could be useful: If you anticipate wiping might become a problem, include an electrical outlet behind the toilet, which will allow you to add a washlet that will "spray you" instead of needing to wipe.

- Pocket doors are more difficult to open, especially if you have problems with arthritis (or similar). Pocket doors are also louder (right by the head of the bed -- and the TV is also right through that wall), and they will break /probably require a professional to fix the problem inside the wall. Remember, too, that you can't hang pictures on a wall that contains a pocket door.

- The duplicate sink vanity, as shown, has zero storage at the vanity. First, I'd stretch the vanity to fit the room, then I'd downsize it to a single sink flanked by a stack of drawers for each spouse. Storage is always more important than a duplicate sink.

- The shower is almost big enough for a wheelchair to turn around in. The one thing that'd concern me is, Where will you hang towels?

- Definitely consider where the water controls would be laid out in this shower. Especially in a shower like the one you're considering, you want to be able to reach in /turn on the water without submitting your body to the initial cold spray.

- Since she's concerned about being able to turn around in the shower, do consider that a wheelchair could not turn around in that closet. Ditto for the pantry. And the mudroom. And the laundry. And the secondary bathroom.

- I do like that you have an exterior door in the bedroom. That's fire-safe.

The only "somewhat ADA" here is a 4'-11" turning circle in the shower (even less after tile), a little bit of a side transfer space next to the toilet, and some 36" doors.

So really, you are selectably choosing which ADA design features to use. There is nothing wrong with that, as already said call it "age-in-place friendly." But, I would suggest you remain consistent with that age-friendly concept throughout the house as others have pointed out with specifics.

And understand the concept of a specific design feature, for example, the 'L' shape of shower really defeats the purpose of when you are in a wheelchair.

There are also some questions I would have about the design in general of the livable portion of this barndominium.
