This bathroom was part of a primary suite renovation including the bedroom and dressing room that was redesigned to accommodate Aging in Place and a client who uses a cane or wheelchair. All three rooms were designed with Universal Design and ADA standards in mind, and tailored to accommodate the particular physical limitations of our client.

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.

Greg Hadley Photography In the upper level master bedroom, the ductwork and mechanical requirements prevented us from installing the cathedral ceiling the clients wanted, but we were still able to create volume in the center with a tray ceiling. We added two new high-efficiency HVAC systems, one of which had three zones to accommodate versatile uses of each floor of the new addition. We also installed a top quality air filtration system to improve air quality. To connect the new master bedroom to the existing master bathroom (remodeled five years ago), we converted the original exterior window of the home into a door to the bedroom.

This boy's bathroom was designed to stay current as the boy ages with the use of neutral colors. The walls are a very cool fossilized limestone and the glass mosaic floor and accent border add reflective light and interest. The walk-through closet has plenty of storage space in the built-in units with hanging space on the opposite wall. Alex Kotlik Photography

This home was designed to be the forever home for a retired couple. Their objectives were to have enough space for the entire family, and to have an energy efficient home that was low maintenance for retirement. The build was successful all around. They enjoy main floor living for all critical functions - and the home has geothermal heat pump and upgraded insulation throughout, leaving them with just $550/year in annual energy bills.
