Viewing the wet area, the iridescent tile mosaic can be seen traversing the perimeter of the room and lining the backs of the shampoo niches. A folding teak bench provides seating near the hand-held shower, while the grab bar is provided for aging-in-place consideration. The unusually-shaped...

Utilizing a light-to-medium range color palette, this Master bath is well-illuminated by recessed lights, fixtures mounted on the mirror, and daylight from two windows. Originally a room that housed two closets with a tub sandwiched in-between, this completely open "water room" is accessible to...

Tucked away in the corner, the wall-mounted toilet draws minimal attention and takes little space. The grab bar supports the owner's intention of aging in place. Linear glass/stone blend mosaic continues around the perimeter of the room to help visually contain the large open space. Design:...

Maintaining a clean, uncluttered look is part of the wall-mounted faucet's contribution, where the water flow and temperature are controlled by a joystick! An undermount sink in a quartz countertop makes clean-up a breeze. Notice the beautiful, scalloped glass liner above the mosaic. Design:...

In this minimalist shower, there is no curb and no door. A sloped shower floor and glass partitions of rain glass keep the water inside of the enclosure. Grab bars are provided for future needs of the owner or visitors. The shampoo niches boast a backing of the same mosaic as in the backsplash. ...

The second grab bar in the shower is but one step in to stabilize oneself upon entry. Two shampoo niches provide ample storage space for multiple users. Design: Laura Lerond. Photo: Dan Bawden.
