This master bathroom is located on the basement slab level of their home, offering a sidewalk and patio for accessibility so creating a space that will be functional, as well as accessible in considering the future was necessary. Must have's: Ease of cleaning, accessibility, walk in bathroom, jetted tub, led partial moon mirror design, moody- contemporary feel. We created a walk in shower with large format tile for less grout along the full back wall with a subway tile feature to break up space between the vanity and the shower. This same subway theme, mixed from 3 tiles, was matched on the opposing tub wall with a mirrored niche and large format tile for continuity, and flow. The door was changed to a barndoor with a recessed mirror, this allows both function and provides a wide opening. The client can access the bathroom through either the hall or their master bathroom with a zero threshold entry into the bathroom and into the shower. The rounded niche mimics the rounded mirror. Custom dark stained and black wood set off this moody modern bathroom down to the exposed vanity bottle trap and plumb lines, with varying dimmers and lighting to set off this moody vibe. The homeowners were involved every step of the way, down to the custom quartzite countertop. Layout, space planning, design, rendering and plumbing provided by Angie Finton Designs. The amazing and wonderful styling decorations were completed by the homeowner.

Updating historic John Hudson Thomas-designed Berkeley bungalow to modern code. Remodel designed by Lorin Hill, Architect included adding an interior stair to provide access to new second-story bedroom with ensuite bath. Main floor renovation included new kitchen, bath as well as bringing all services up to code. Project involved extensive use of traditional materials and craftsmanship.

Access to the Master Bathroom is made easy from the kitchen/laundry area. Upon entering the bathroom, the roll up sink and medicine cabinet are easily accessible. There is wainscoting wall protection that is carried in from the adjacent hallway that easily blends with wainscoting height tile in the bathroom as well. The toilet is extra high comfort height and sits at 21" so that access from the wheelchair is easiest. There is a linen cabinet across from the toilet that provides for drawers for bathroom items and supplies and for linens and towels on top. The shower threshold could not be eliminated, so we extended the shower bench over 21" into the bathroom floor so that easy transfer could be made from the wheelchair onto the bench in the bathroom, and then just slide over on the bench into the shower. The handheld shower is located within easy reach of the bench with all bathing supplies conveniently located in an easily accessible niche. Although not all grab bars are shown here, there is one at the sink to help her stand up, a pull down bar near the toilet, a vertical bar to help standing up from the toilets, an angled bar from the bench to stand up and a horizontal and vertical grab bar in the shower itself. Note that we selected the basic grab bar to install over any designer grab bar for maximum safety and comfort. From the Master Bath, a hallway leads to the closet and the Master Bedroom. We widened the hallway to access the closet to 42" wide, and increased the size of the door to enter the closet from 24" to 36" and eliminated the door to improve overall access. The closet was built in and provides for all her items that were previously in a dresser in her bedroom. This way, she can go into the closet and get all items needed to dress without going back into the bedroom for undergarments.

Aging in Place was the primary focus of this renovation project. The original space included two small baths, one with a shower and the second with a tub/shower combination. The Master Bath needed accessible design with adaptability for long term use. The spaces were reconfigured to incorporate a barrier-free shower with folding seat, adjustable shower heads, grab bars, right-height toilets, slip resistant surfaces, layered and adjustable lighting and a custom vanity that can reconfigure for wheel chair use. The resulting design provides the owner with a safe, accessible master bath and additional storage.

After. The far wall of the Kitchen provided the perfect space for this coffee station and prep area! The maple cabinets and floating shelves (also from Adelphi) were stained in the color “Honey” which plays off the existing window frames, wooden beam and load-bearing column.

This closet is designed to allow guests to use it when they are there, but also to provide storage for the homeowners. Features include clothing rods for hanging clothes, open shelving for clothing and shoes, a cabinet with doors above, and enclosed storage below for anything from linens to towels and guest articles. We used the whole area by designing a blind corner, still providing access for infrequently used items. The homeowner also wanted a strong counter top for suitcases to be unloaded and to be used as a seat while dressing if needed. We put in a 1 inch thick top, providing a rich look and strength.

FRONT VIEW- Inspired by the west coast home style, this Traditional (inspired Craftsman) style model reflects a timeless home with a look that is always in demand. From its striking “L” shape, with a triple garage that boasts a 668 sq.ft. of bonus space on its second level, and covered porches in both front and back, this beautiful home has something for everyone! Upon entering high ceilings, reaching almost 18’ in the foyer and the family room, add to the appeal of the main level's well thought out floor plan. A remarkable master suite has its own fireplace and well appointed bathroom that is accessible through a his and hers style walk-in closet. The abundantly fenestrated living/dining area has a second fireplace that can be enjoyed from both sides and the kitchen has a large central island, walk-in pantry and a delightful breakfast nook that overlooks the view from the back terrace. The separate laundry/mud room off of the garage entrance to the house adds to the livability of this home with features made to measure for today’s larger, blended families. Upstairs there is a second master suite and the two other bedrooms share a bathroom with its own shower. The reading/computer corner on the mezzanine overlooks the family room below and the 14’ x 41’8” bonus space above the garage, accessible from this level, provides room to grow!

This 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.

Branksome 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.
