This walk-in shower combines comfort, safety, and style. The marble-look tile brings in warmth and elegance, while the built-in bench and grab bars make the space easier to use for anyone. Dual shower heads, including a handheld, offer flexibility whether you're rinsing off quickly or enjoying a long soak. The herringbone tile floor adds just the right amount of detail, and the glass walls help the space feel open and inviting.

Construction - completed curb less handicap accessible shower, new fixtures and glass above new pony wall.

I was hired by my previous employer, Corvallis Custom Kitchens and Baths to assist these homeowners with all of the materials, fixtures and finish choices to complete this master bathroom remodel. Brian Egan, owner and designer at CCKB in Sept 2017, since retired), designed this aging-in-place, accessible shower (previously a shower and separate soaker tub) for the clients who reside in an over 55 community here in Corvallis. Large format 12x24 unpolished Crossville Kosmos Moonstruck tile was chosen for the bathroom floor and the shower walls to minimize grout lines. For the shower floor/pan small 1x1 DalTile Keystones Marble color tile was used to aid in making the floor feel extra slip resistant as the Keystones tiles do not have grittier feeling surface than porcelain tile. For safety and a non-industrial look, Moen Align chrome designer grab bars were installed in the shower and toilet room. The handshower and rainshower head system by Grohe beautifully combines the 2 systems in one unit called Retrofit 160. To allow the homeowners to turn the shower on and warm up without them having to step in the direct spray of the shower head, the controls were placed under the window near the shower entry. This would also allow a helper to assist anyone using the shower in the future should the need arise. A linear drain was installed to pull water away from the zero threshold shower entry. Installing a linear shower drain allows for a no threshold shower which can allow for the shower to be accessible with a walker or roll-in with a wheelchair as the shower was designed almost 40" wide. The homeowners were thrilled with the transformation of their bathroom. The design and material choices fit their tastes and needs perfectly. Now they can continue to age in place and not worry about how they would be able to bathe if something were to decrease their mobility. Photos by: H. Needham

This bathroom was remodeled with the purpose of being able for the homeowners to age in place. The original bathroom had a small enclosed shower, an oversized, underused whirlpool, short vanity, and limited storage. We took the tub space and created a large walk in shower, with no curb! We also fully fitted this shower with grab bars at the entry, in the shower, and the slide bar on the handheld is an actual grab bar! Backing was also added behind the tile for a seat to be mounted in the future. Where the shower used to be is now a large linen closet with large drawers for storage. The vanity is the existing vanity, but we raised it up to today's current taller vanity height, added a new top, undermount sinks & faucets. We also added additional storage in the recessed medicine cabinets above each sink. Interested in learning more? Check us out at whitebirchdesignllc.com

Client still loved the hand-painted wall tile and wanted it to be an accent. A neutral "wet sand" color porcelain tile provides updated look and provides a crisp contrast to the busy hand-painted tile. Haley Horton/Dakota T Smith Photography

After photo of shower. Toilet closet walls were removed to provide unobstructed access to the toilet. A combination of grab bars and a raise and lower PT rail were used to assist the client at the toilet. Porcelain floor tile installed diagonally was utilized to hold up to daily wheelchair use.

Single pane glass, corner bench and glass shelves in the shower keep it open and uncluttered. We added grab bars for the future and wetwall with lots of hooks.

Porcelain tile was used along with peened grab bars and scald guard shower valve. Two valves were used - One for standing shower for client's good days, and another at a bench seat when the client was suffering from leg fatigue. Photo by: Chiemi Photography

This Waukesha bathroom remodel was unique because the homeowner needed wheelchair accessibility. We designed a beautiful master bathroom and met the client’s ADA bathroom requirements. Original Space The old bathroom layout was not functional or safe. The client could not get in and out of the shower or maneuver around the vanity or toilet. The goal of this project was ADA accessibility. ADA Bathroom Requirements All elements of this bathroom and shower were discussed and planned. Every element of this Waukesha master bathroom is designed to meet the unique needs of the client. Designing an ADA bathroom requires thoughtful consideration of showering needs. Open Floor Plan – A more open floor plan allows for the rotation of the wheelchair. A 5-foot turning radius allows the wheelchair full access to the space. Doorways – Sliding barn doors open with minimal force. The doorways are 36” to accommodate a wheelchair. Curbless Shower – To create an ADA shower, we raised the sub floor level in the bedroom. There is a small rise at the bedroom door and the bathroom door. There is a seamless transition to the shower from the bathroom tile floor. Grab Bars – Decorative grab bars were installed in the shower, next to the toilet and next to the sink (towel bar). Handheld Showerhead – The handheld Delta Palm Shower slips over the hand for easy showering. Shower Shelves – The shower storage shelves are minimalistic and function as handhold points. Non-Slip Surface – Small herringbone ceramic tile on the shower floor prevents slipping. ADA Vanity – We designed and installed a wheelchair accessible bathroom vanity. It has clearance under the cabinet and insulated pipes. Lever Faucet – The faucet is offset so the client could reach it easier. We installed a lever operated faucet that is easy to turn on/off. Integrated Counter/Sink – The solid surface counter and sink is durable and easy to clean. ADA Toilet – The client requested a bidet toilet with a self opening and closing lid. ADA bathroom requirements for toilets specify a taller height and more clearance. Heated Floors – WarmlyYours heated floors add comfort to this beautiful space. Linen Cabinet – A custom linen cabinet stores the homeowners towels and toiletries. Style The design of this bathroom is light and airy with neutral tile and simple patterns. The cabinetry matches the existing oak woodwork throughout the home.

This modern bathroom used 12" x 24" tile laid in a brick pattern along with an inset glass mosaic border. The beautiful all glass frameless shower enclosure added to the contemporary feel. The shower bench, grab bars and a hand held shower faucet added additional safety features. The inset storage niche in the shower allows for convenient storage for shampoo and soap.

This is a completely handicap accessible bathroom. From the ADA door hinges, the wheel chair accessible lavatory to the ramped shower, this is not only beautiful it is absolutely wheelchair friendly.
