Robin Stancliff photo credits. This kitchen had a complete transformation, and now it is beautiful, bright, and much
more accessible! To accomplish my goals for this kitchen, I had to completely demolish
the walls surrounding the kitchen, only keeping the attractive exposed load bearing
posts and the HVAC system in place. I also left the existing pony wall, which I turned
into a breakfast area, to keep the electric wiring in place. A challenge that I
encountered was that my client wanted to keep the original Saltillo tile that gives her
home it’s Southwestern flair, while having an updated kitchen with a mid-century
modern aesthetic. Ultimately, the vintage Saltillo tile adds a lot of character and interest
to the new kitchen design. To keep things clean and minimal, all of the countertops are
easy-to-clean white quartz. Since most of the cooking will be done on the new
induction stove in the breakfast area, I added a uniquely textured three-dimensional
backsplash to give a more decorative feel. Since my client wanted the kitchen to be
disability compliant, we put the microwave underneath the counter for easy access and
added ample storage space beneath the counters rather than up high. With a full view
of the surrounding rooms, this new kitchen layout feels very open and accessible. The
crisp white cabinets and wall color is accented by a grey island and updated lighting
throughout. Now, my client has a kitchen that feels open and easy to maintain while
being safe and useful for people with disabilities.

The Hall Bath was converted into the open shower space and back-up space for her wheelchair. Insisting upon using the portable bench that she was used to for the last 35 years, we placed all of the plumbing within hand's reach - the hand-held shower wand on a slidebar with its own temp control and shampoo niche.

Gorgeous new Master Bathroom transformation. The old bathroom with columns, dropped soffit, dated materials, opened into this gorgeous new luxury master bath. By removing the soffit and exposing the beautiful ceiling line we accentuated the windows and view beyond. Relocating the shower, redefining the tub area, enlarging the vanity onto one long wall and specifying luxury materials completed this long awaited transformation.

The aluminum ramp were no longer required after the porch floor and sidewalk were raised and sloped to allow a smooth transition to and from the house.

The architect skillfully blended the new structure into the existing house, repeating several features of the original, while 'stepping in' the footprint of the addition to avoid a 'dormitory' appearance. A turret at the end of the living room extends the space and provides a nice view of the property.

This bath was created as part of a larger addition project, for a client's disabled son. The 5 ft. X 7 ft. roll-in shower provides plenty of room for movement and is equipped with height-appropriate fixtures such as nozzles, a grab bar, and a convenient shower niche. The wheelchair-friendly shower also includes a flat floor which allows water to drain in the middle and makes entering and exiting the shower area easy and safe.
