American Home RemodelingAccessible Walk-In Shower Remodel Featuring Azzurra Bay Sentrel Walls
This beautiful accessible walk-in shower remodel combines modern styling, thoughtful safety features, and everyday comfort. Featuring Azzurra Bay Sentrel premium composite shower walls, sleek sliding glass doors, a convenient foldable shower seat, and two strategically positioned grab bars, this bathroom transformation demonstrates how accessibility and elegant design can work together.
The Azzurra Bay Sentrel walls create a sophisticated backdrop with their natural stone-inspired appearance and beautiful color variations. The large-format panels provide a clean, seamless finish that elevates the shower while eliminating traditional grout lines. In addition to their attractive appearance, these premium composite walls offer a durable, low-maintenance surface designed to resist mold and mildew, making routine bathroom cleaning easier.
Accessibility is at the heart of this shower design. Two strategically positioned grab bars provide additional support and stability when entering, exiting, and moving around the shower. The foldable shower seat offers a comfortable place to sit while bathing and conveniently folds against the wall when not in use, preserving valuable shower space.
The sliding glass shower doors complete the renovation with a clean, contemporary appearance while providing convenient access without requiring additional clearance for a swinging door. Combined with the practical seating and safety features, the design creates a more comfortable and functional bathing environment.
This project demonstrates that creating a safer bathroom doesn't mean sacrificing style. With beautiful Azzurra Bay Sentrel walls, modern glass doors, and carefully selected accessibility features, homeowners can enjoy a shower that supports changing needs while maintaining an attractive, updated appearance.

Eurodale Developments IncThis great room was once a bisected dining room, small family room, tight kitchen and dinette. Now completely open, hidden is a myriad of steel beams, ductwork and large glass doors which provide access to and a view of the ravine in the rear yard. The kitchen island provides ample casual seating and a buffer from the work space of the kitchen for the family room.

Kala Performance HomesThe size of the deck was increased substantially, and is much better suited for a young family. The laundry/mudroom addition now provides direct access into the home and to the garage. Horizontal fiber cement and cedar sheathing replaced the vertical batten boards. New windows and air sealing of the exterior walls are energy efficient improvements that provide superior comfort and energy savings.
Donald A. Gardner ArchitectsStone and stucco combine with multiple gable peaks and an impressive, front entry to create stunning curb appeal for this European house plan. The grand foyer greets visitors on the inside, while the dining room and bedroom/study flank the foyer on both sides. Further along, the great room includes a cathedral ceiling, porch access and wall of windows to view outdoor scenery. The breakfast room and kitchen are also open to the great room and one another, simplifying mealtime. On the other side of the house plan, a large master suite was designed to pamper the homeowner. A bowed sitting area grants extra space in the bedroom, while the luxurious master bath features a corner shower, large soaking tub, his-and-her vanities and private privy. In the basement are three bedrooms, each with their own full bath, an added treat! A large rec room with fireplace completes the basement and provides an additional gathering space in the house plan.

Dear Garden Associates, Inc.Dear Garden Associates worked closely with the homeowner and builder to create gardens that reflect the homeowner’s taste and compliment the architecture of the home. Curving boulder walls were installed throughout the gardens to create a series of terraces, address grading issues, and protecting large trees. Pathways and steps of large irregular flagstone provide access around the home and through various gardens of fragrant seasonal plantings. Path and tree lights extend the use of the gardens into the night, but do not overpower the night experience. A terrace with a fireplace and water feature was constructed to appear as old ruins and to provide destination away from the home.

Footprint Architects LtdBranksome Road
Set within a Bournemouth conservation zone; Branksome Woods provided the challenge of designing additional, modern space for a growing family whilst respecting sensitive contextual conditions.
Footprint Architects responded by continuing the existing roofline across the property, providing an extra two bedrooms whilst also allowing the proposal to blend seamlessly with the properties existing form, whilst breathing new life into the look of the dated building.
On the ground floor, the kitchen and dinning area were re-organised and extended out from the property in a brick form that exhibits views of the garden, with an alternative contrasting timber rear entrance to provide improved access to the house from the drive and garage.
The design changes have transformed the quality and functionality of Branksome Woods, providing modern additional space, with a minimal impact on the surrounding context.
The project was completed in November 2017.
TKS Design GroupThis project was completed for clients who wanted a comfortable, accessible 1ST floor bathroom for their grown daughter to use during visits to their home as well as a nicely-appointed space for any guest. Their daughter has some accessibility challenges so the bathroom was also designed with that in mind.
The original space worked fairly well in some ways, but we were able to tweak a few features to make the space even easier to maneuver through. We started by making the entry to the shower flush so that there is no curb to step over. In addition, although there was an existing oversized seat in the shower, it was way too deep and not comfortable to sit on and just wasted space. We made the shower a little smaller and then provided a fold down teak seat that is slip resistant, warm and comfortable to sit on and can flip down only when needed. Thus we were able to create some additional storage by way of open shelving to the left of the shower area. The open shelving matches the wood vanity and allows a spot for the homeowners to display heirlooms as well as practical storage for things like towels and other bath necessities.
We carefully measured all the existing heights and locations of countertops, toilet seat, and grab bars to make sure that we did not undo the things that were already working well. We added some additional hidden grab bars or “grabcessories” at the toilet paper holder and shower shelf for an extra layer of assurance. Large format, slip-resistant floor tile was added eliminating as many grout lines as possible making the surface less prone to tripping. We used a wood look tile as an accent on the walls, and open storage in the vanity allowing for easy access for clean towels. Bronze fixtures and frameless glass shower doors add an elegant yet homey feel that was important for the homeowner. A pivot mirror allows adjustability for different users.

Mike Farley Pool Designer, SWD, ASLAThis is a rectangular pool that is centered on the family room windows of the primary focal point of the house. The spa is recessed in the pool to provide good access and not break up the symmetrical lines of the space. By viewing the length of the pool it gives the allusion of more depth to the yard. The understated diving platform provides the only safe place to dive in the pool and a water feature to drown out street noise. Colored and textured concrete were used for the deck and to cap the existing porches. Designed by Mike Farley.

Albee Interior DesignMany people don't like the big, clunky, floor-mounted tub fillers that often accompany stand-alone tubs. The narrow shelf behind the tub eliminates that problem by providing a place to mount a regular tub filler and hand shower, with controls to one side for easy access.
