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.

We designed this 3,162 square foot home for empty-nesters who love lake life. Functionally, the home accommodates multiple generations. Elderly in-laws stay for prolonged periods, and the homeowners are thinking ahead to their own aging in place. This required two master suites on the first floor. Accommodations were made for visiting children upstairs. Aside from the functional needs of the occupants, our clients desired a home which maximizes indoor connection to the lake, provides covered outdoor living, and is conducive to entertaining. Our concept celebrates the natural surroundings through materials, views, daylighting, and building massing.
We placed all main public living areas along the rear of the house to capitalize on the lake views while efficiently stacking the bedrooms and bathrooms in a two-story side wing. Secondary support spaces are integrated across the front of the house with the dramatic foyer. The front elevation, with painted green and natural wood siding and soffits, blends harmoniously with wooded surroundings. The lines and contrasting colors of the light granite wall and silver roofline draws attention toward the entry and through the house to the real focus: the water. The one-story roof over the garage and support spaces takes flight at the entry, wraps the two-story wing, turns, and soars again toward the lake as it approaches the rear patio. The granite wall extending from the entry through the interior living space is mirrored along the opposite end of the rear covered patio. These granite bookends direct focus to the lake.

This exquisite master suite combines rough hewn reclaimed wood, custom milled reclaimed fir, VG fir, hot rolled steel, custom barn doors, stone, concrete counters and hearths and limestone plaster for a truly one of kind space. The suite's entrance hall showcases three gorgeous barn doors hand made from from reclaimed jarrah and fir. Behind one of the doors is the office, which was designed to precisely suit my clients' needs. The built in's house a small desk, Sub Zero undercounter refrigerator and Miele built in espresso machine. The leather swivel chairs, slate and iron end tables from a Montana artist and dual function ottomans keep the space very usable while still beautiful. The walls are painted in dry erase paint, allowing every square inch of wall space to be used for business strategizing and planning. The limestone plaster fireplace warms the space and brings another texture to the room. Through another barn door is the stunning 20' x 23' master bedroom. The VG fir beams have a channel routed in the top containing LED rope light, illuminating the soaring VG fir ceiling. The bronze chandelier from France is a free form shape, providing contrast to all the horizontal lines in the room. The show piece is definitely the 150 year old reclaimed jarrah wood used on the bed wall. The gray tones coordinate beautifully with all the warmth from the fir. We custom designed the panelized fireplace surround with inset wood storage in hot rolled steel. The cantilevered concrete hearth adds depth to the sleek steel. Opposite the bed is a fir 18' wide bifold door, allowing my outdoor-loving clients to feel as one with their gorgeous property. The final space is a dream bath suite, with sauna, steam shower, sunken tub, fireplace and custom vanities. The glazed wood vanities were designed with all drawers to maximize function. We topped the vanities with antique corbels and a reclaimed fir soffit and corner column for a dramatic design. The corner column houses spring loaded magnetic doors, hiding away all the bathroom necessities that require plugs. The concrete countertop on the vanities has integral sinks and a low profile contemporary design. The soaking tub is sunk into a bed of Mexican beach pebbles and clad in reclaimed jarrah and steel. The custom steel and tile fireplace is beautiful and warms the bathroom nicely on cool Pacific Northwest days.

This dreamy master bath remodel in East Cobb offers generous space without going overboard in square footage. The homeowner chose to go with a large double vanity with a custom seated space as well as a nice shower with custom features and decided to forgo the typical big soaking tub.
The vanity area shown in the photos has plenty of storage within the wall cabinets and the large drawers below.
The countertop is Cedar Brown slab marble with undermount sinks. The brushed nickel metal details were done to work with the theme through out the home. The floor is a 12x24 honed Crema Marfil.
The stunning crystal chandelier draws the eye up and adds to the simplistic glamour of the bath.
The shower was done with an elegant combination of tumbled and polished Crema Marfil, two rows of Emperador Light inlay and Mirage Glass Tiles, Flower Series, Polished.

This Houston, Texas River Oaks home went through a complete remodel of their master bathroom. Originally, it was a bland rectangular space with a misplaced shower in the center of the bathroom; partnered with a built-in tub against the window. We redesigned the new space by completely gutting the old bathroom. We decided to make the space flow more consistently by working with the rectangular layout and then created a master bathroom with free-standing tub inside the shower enclosure. The tub was floated inside the shower by the window. Next, we added a large bench seat with an oversized mosaic glass backdrop by Lunada Bay "Agate Taiko. The 9’ x 9’ shower is fully enclosed with 3/8” seamless glass. The furniture-like vanity was custom built with decorative overlays on the mirror doors to match the shower mosaic tile design. Further, we bleached the hickory wood to get the white wash stain on the cabinets. The floor tile is 12" x 24" Athena Sand with a linear mosaic running the length of the room. This tranquil spa bath has many luxurious amenities such as a Bain Ultra Air Tub, "Evanescence" with Brizo Virage Lavatory faucets and fixtures in a brushed bronze brilliance finish. Overall, this was a drastic, yet much needed change for my client.

A stunning blend of modern luxury, designed functionality, and Victorian charm
This recent design build bathroom in Rockville, MD by Talon Construction is a stunning blend of modern luxury, thoughtful functionality, and Victorian charm:
Custom Shower Enclosure with Wet & Dry Bench
Curbless walk-in shower design expands the sense of space and accessibility, bringing in sleek minimalism and easy transition
Inside, wet and dry bench seating each built with matching quartz provides dual functionality. A wet seat under the shower spray and a separate dry zone for relaxation or shaving
Enclosed in a bespoke frameless glass door, accented with premium brushed-nickel hardware, achieving a clean, spa-like atmosphere.
Twin Custom Wood Victorian‑Style Vanities
Two custom-stained, Victorian-style vanities flank the room—crafted in rich wood tones with decorative legs, and marble-look quartz countertops, echoing Talon’s signature high-end cabinetry.
Each vanity is topped with non-framed mirrors offering both statement flair and practical ambiance .
Additional Design Highlights
Built-in storage cubbies finished in the same wood as the vanities, add seamless function and aesthetic continuity. A hallmark seen in Talon’s Gaithersburg remodel.
Fully tiled walls, shower floor, and niches with large-format ceramic tiles and accent inlays providing elegant durability and a boutique flair.
Carefully chosen brushed nickel fixtures along with recessed lighting and wall mounted vanity lights. Provides a bright, inviting space with layers of sophistication.

Seamless design‑build approach: Talon handled 3D design planning, material selections, permit acquisition, demolition, plumbing, electrical, and final installation under one roof

Client-approved quality backed by glowing local feedback—“top-notch,” “easy reveal,” and “no surprises” from homeowners and even Reddit users in Frederick .
This remodel is the perfect example of Talon’s ability to blend timeless design and functionality in a streamlined process. The result: a Victorian-inspired, spa-like bathroom sanctuary tailored to modern living in Rockville.

This remodel is the perfect example of Talon’s ability to blend timeless design and functionality in a streamlined process. The result: a Victorian-inspired, spa-like bathroom sanctuary tailored to modern living in Rockville.

The Setup
For this primary bathroom project, the homeowners wanted to transform their large, T-shaped bathroom into a functional, multi-purpose sanctuary. The existing layout was inefficient, with a bulky built-in tub, a closed-off shower, and an awkward footprint that limited practical use.
This remodel also presented a unique challenge – the homeowners wanted to use the space for workouts as well. The design needed to maximize the large open area in the middle of the T, providing enough room for yoga and light free-weight exercises while maintaining the bathroom’s aesthetic and functionality.
Design objectives:
Expand and brighten the shower area without major layout changes
Replace the oversized built-in tub with a sleek freestanding alternative
Create a flexible space for workouts while maintaining the bathroom’s design integrity
Address cold flooring with added comfort solutions
Enhance lighting for both beauty and functionality
Incorporate storage for workout equipment and everyday essentials
Integrate natural elements to accommodate the homeowners’ love of plants
The Remodel
Design challenges to be solved:
Shower Expansion – The homeowners want a more open, spa-like shower but don’t want to dramatically alter the footprint.
Workout Integration – Balancing fitness functionality with a serene bathroom design will require creative layout adjustments.
Storage Solutions – With workout gear to stow away, the space needs discrete and versatile storage options.
Lighting – Enhancing both natural and artificial lighting to brighten the large space.
Cold Floors – Positioned above the garage, the bathroom tends to feel colder than the adjacent primary bedroom. A solution is needed to add warmth and comfort during use, without the need to reconfigure the home’s overall heating system.
The Renewed Space
Design solutions:
Spa-Like Shower Expansion – Removing a wall and replacing it with glass transformed the shower into an open, airy retreat, allowing natural light to flow freely through the space. A curved black river rock floor and neutral linear wall tiles add warmth and texture, while carefully placed niche lighting enhances the tranquil, luxurious atmosphere.
Workout-Friendly Layout – A custom full-length mirror was strategically placed to accommodate multiple uses, creating a fitness studio-like experience for yoga or light weight training. The mirror’s size and positioning allow for clear visibility during workouts, while also enhancing the room by adding light and a greater sense of depth.
Custom Storage Solutions – A custom cabinet with a wood top was crafted to discreetly store workout equipment, preserving the clean, open feel of the space. Its design not only enhances functionality but also creates a sense of symmetry, bringing visual balance and cohesion to the overall layout.
Enhanced Lighting – Replacing the shower wall with glass, installing a full-length mirror, and incorporating vanity mirrors with built-in lighting dramatically brighten the space. LED strip lighting under the cabinets, along the tub half wall, and in both the side and shower niches adds layered illumination, enhancing both function and ambiance.
Heated Floors – Installing heated flooring provides consistent warmth and comfort year-round, enhancing the space for both workouts and daily routines. A European-style towel warmer brings additional warmth and a touch of luxury, elevating the overall experience.
Final Thoughts:
This transformed bathroom blends luxury with intentional design. By addressing the homeowners’ needs – from workout flexibility to spa-inspired details – the space now serves multiple purposes without compromise. The warm cabinetry, black accents and thoughtful lighting tie the design together, while the curved textures and plant-friendly ledge add a personalized touch. This bathroom is now a bright, welcoming sanctuary for daily routines and mindful moments.

Seamless design‑build approach: Talon handled 3D design planning, material selections, permit acquisition, demolition, plumbing, electrical, and final installation under one roof
High craftsmanship standards: licensed and BBB‑A+ rated with two decades of experience across Frederick, Montgomery, and Howard Counties
Why It Stands Out
Elevated luxury meets practical function wet/dry benches, custom storage, mood lighting the kind of refined touches Talon brings to every project.
Cohesive aesthetic with Victorian vanities anchoring vintage charm, the glass enclosure and clean finishes keep it fresh and contemporary.
Client-approved quality backed by glowing local feedback—“top-notch,” “easy reveal,” and “no surprises” from homeowners and even Reddit users in Frederick .
This remodel is the perfect example of Talon’s ability to blend timeless design and functionality in a streamlined process. The result: a Victorian-inspired, spa-like bathroom sanctuary tailored to modern living in Rockville.

Full Bathroom Remodel with Modern Elegance and Functionality
BMR Belmax Remodeling recently completed an exceptional full bathroom remodel, transforming a dated space into a luxurious retreat that combines style, function, and elegance. This Richboro-based project showcases our team’s dedication to craftsmanship, innovation, and efficiency, with the entire remodel completed in just 12 days. From large-format tiles to a new walk-in shower and freestanding bathtub, every detail was carefully selected and executed to meet the client’s vision and lifestyle.
Project Details: Elegant Modern Touches
The remodel started with a complete demolition of the existing bathroom, allowing us to design and rebuild the space from scratch. This fresh start enabled our designers to create a seamless flow between key features, maximizing both space and functionality. Large-format tiles were chosen for the floors and walls, creating a sleek, sophisticated look while minimizing grout lines for easier maintenance. The neutral tones of the tiles bring warmth and elegance, setting a relaxing ambiance for the entire bathroom.
Walk-In Shower and Freestanding Bathtub
One of the primary highlights of this remodel is the new walk-in shower, designed with clean lines and glass doors that enhance the spacious feel of the bathroom. Equipped with a modern rain showerhead and stylish matte black fixtures, the shower provides a luxurious, spa-like experience. Adjacent to the shower, a freestanding bathtub adds a touch of modern sophistication. Its elegant design serves as a focal point, offering a perfect spot for relaxation after a long day, enhanced by the striking black finish on all fixtures.
Custom Vanity and Lighting
The client wanted both style and storage in their vanity, so we installed a custom-built vanity with ample drawer space and a sleek countertop. The vanity’s design complements the bathroom’s overall aesthetic, blending seamlessly with the large-format tiles and matte black fixtures. Above the vanity, new lighting fixtures were installed to provide soft, even illumination, perfect for daily routines. The strategically placed lights not only add to the bathroom’s functionality but also enhance the room’s calming, inviting atmosphere.
Updated Plumbing Fixtures and High-Quality Materials
Throughout the remodel, our team used only high-quality materials, ensuring the bathroom is built to last. The updated plumbing fixtures, finished in matte black, add a contemporary edge to the space. This finish not only complements the neutral tones of the large-format tiles but also contributes a modern sophistication to the bathroom. Every element, from the large tiles to the smallest fixtures, was selected for its durability, function, and style.
A Smooth and Efficient Remodel
One of the most remarkable aspects of this project was its timeline—completed in just 12 days. BMR Belmax Remodeling’s skilled team managed each phase meticulously, from demolition to final touches, ensuring a seamless process. The client was thrilled with both the efficiency and the high-quality finish, expressing delight in the transformation of their bathroom into a functional, beautiful retreat.
In this project, BMR Belmax Remodeling delivered a bathroom that is not only visually stunning but also optimized for comfort and convenience. Our commitment to quality and client satisfaction is evident in every detail, making this Richboro bathroom remodel a proud addition to our portfolio.
