The Roger Lee designed house from 1962 was purchased by the current homeowners in almost original condition, as the previous owners elected to defer most maintenance projects over the years. The clients were able to see beyond the dated materials and finishes, single-paned glass and uninsulated walls and they approached Klopf Architecture to help them expand and update the entire home, one the family could settle into and enjoy for years to come. It was important that the new designs were aligned with Lee's original intent not only because of the client's appreciation for mid-century modern architecture, but also because the house was deemed historical. The Stanford Real Estate Office requires a stringent design review which safeguards the integrity of the community, which Klopf Architecture was happy to oblige going into their updated designs. As with many original mid-century modern homes, the house was scaled to the 1960s lifestyle where rooms were smaller and openings to views were limited and tightly framed. The original conditions defined the direction the family of four would take in updating the house and making it comfortable for their modern lifestyle. Klopf designed a full gut remodel and major addition to bring the house into the 21st century and provide the living area needed for the client's family. The newly expanded house added just about 1,100 sf to create an airy, comfortable and family friendly house, taking full advantage of the beautiful southwestern views that extend out to the hills beyond. The enclosed garage created an additional 240 sf of covered space for long-term storage. A cracked swimming pool created an eyesore taking up a majority of the backyard landscape, so it was one of the first elements to go during the transformation. Working with Outer Space Landscape Architects, the family asked for a mix of relaxing outdoor patio spaces that eventually blend into the native landscaping, extending their views outward toward the natural greenery of the trees beyond their property. Filling in the old pool was a smart way to expand the living spaces outward. The orientation of the house was designed to enjoy the views, but the original architecture provided the first homeowners with mere glimpses of the landscape outside. Klopf was able to broaden those views, continuing and extending on the original architecture to take full advantage of the unobstructed natural views across the rear facade of the house. Small horizontal openings in the primary bedroom and office were replaced with much taller windows that now follow the angled roof line upward, extending across almost all of the facade. We worked with Western Windows, whose designs included an oblique-shaped, operable casement that allowed our design to rise with the slope. A new corner office added to the primary suite, offers a bright and functional work-from-home solution that looks out at the distant views and added natural light from the expanded window configuration that now wraps around the corner. The existing lower level was designed by Lee as a utilitarian space, serving as a wet pool room with a drain in the center of the floor, bathroom, laundry and storage areas. Without the need for a pool room, Klopf was able to convert the area into a much more comfortable and functional living space with a new family room and guest suite. The new spaces enjoy easy access to a new outdoor patio through floor to ceiling, full-width glass sliders. Continuing along the rear facade, a previously exposed deck extending from the living room and hallway provided access to the backyard through a single set of stairs leading toward the side of the house which made sense when the pool was in place. The new deck was re-envisioned as an extension of the main living room and now serves as a second outdoor living room. A new slatted pergola above provides the homeowners welcome relief from the hot afternoon sun. A second set of stairs now creates a better connection to the redesigned lower level. Klopf was able to reconfigure the spaces, extending the living room outward toward the views, where the family now claims it as the heart of the home, spending a large majority of their time outdoors. Back inside, the original wood-burning Malm fireplace was beautifully restored and a gas burner installed to comply with California's strict air standards. It now rests in front of a wall of Heath accent tiles where a dated red brick wall used to stand. A new taller window brings more light and views into the refreshed interior living room. The original glass doors opposite the fireplace were replaced by larger sliders that when fully opened, create a seamless transition to the new outdoor living area so the two spaces feel like one connected space. The original utilitarian kitchen was needlessly tucked into the far back corner and closed-off, out of sight from the living room, so the clients asked Klopf to open it up and expand the kitchen forward so it felt more connected. Today the much larger kitchen is connected to the living area where a short wall with a cutout offers a visual glimpse into the kitchen and a handy pass-through counter for serving guests. A new breakfast nook was also added to create another spot where the family can gather for casual meals. Just outside, a new built-in outdoor grill and prep area extends the kitchen outside and connects to a new outdoor dining spot nestled amongst the trees, taking advantage of the views out back. Klopf was able to expand the other two bedrooms, add a new laundry room and half-bath and convert the carport to an enclosed garage to add more storage areas which was lost when the pool house was converted to the family and guest room. To maintain a historical connection to the original designs, the exterior siding was repeated on all exterior walls, a full-height stained glass window at the front entryway restored, and an interior slatted screen element repeated outside at the exterior entry courtyard and over the new outdoor living room to create a shade trellis. The new house stands proudly and shines against it's new landscaping features, while respecting and expanding on the original intent of Roger Lee's designs epitomizing the comforts of indoor-outdoor living in Northern California.

This beautiful custom wine cellar / wine wall / wine room in San Juan Capistrano, Orange County, California is truly a jaw dropper. Vintage Cellars, wine cellar builders out of san diego, california, were able to design and build this masterpiece as a major centerpoint of this dining room and kitchen. A custom wine cellar designed and built by vintage wine cellars out of San Diego, California - this custom wine wall has tons of unique and noteworthy features throughout. The bottom of the cellar begins with multiple areas for wine case storage and other bulk storage options. The great thing about this space is that it was designed for multi-use capability, leaving ample room to store multiple layers deep of single bottle storage as well. Directly above the case storage lie multiple layers of easy pull out shelving on smooth rolling tracks, seamlessly allowing for drawer sliding with no risk of bottle movement or abrupt stops. These are fantastic features to have, especially in the case of having flights of wines from your favorite wineries. A collection of 2010 through 2016 Larkmeade Cabernet Sauvignon bottles from Napa have never looked so good. In the center, a small countertop and opening are used for a practical space to open and decant wines. Glass shelving features and acrylic wine racking dividers make for a fun, transparent, and sleek looking centerpiece. On either side of this wine wall feature / kitchen wine cellar are long rows of high reveal display of wine bottles, carefully designed and engineered to lay down properly so that the cork will stay wet and wines are aged perfectly and gracefully over time. These display rows act as fantastic "show off" sections - perfectly highlighting each bottle's respective label and giving you the ability to really display your gems. More sections sit above these displays, turning the bottles inward and facing them cork out. In this certain circumstance and with this specific client's collection, these sections really popped with color and intrigue with many cases of the same wines being placed into the racking. Intense hues of Red and Yellow POP, keeping this wine cellar interesting and a pleasure to look at no matter what section you're exploring. Horizontal stainless steel metal rods are Integrated into the custom cabinetry horizontally and angled across each multiple sections, again offering another unique and different design feature, now with wine bottle labels facing outward and completely visible. This look in custom wine wall / custom wine cellar / custom wine room / custom wine display / custom wine storage solutions is a great way to integrate modern nuances into your cellar. Accents of metal into an otherwise "traditional" wooden wine cellar can actually add a unique change of pace and give an entire new breath of life to an existing wine storage space. 700 bottle capacity, with room for magnum storage above. Vintage Cellars enjoys working directly with NOE Design Co. and MAIDEN Steel companies when integrating a major glass door feature.

Bathrooms are no longer just functional spaces; they’re mini sanctuaries where we unwind, reset, and start or end the day. One of the biggest trends driving modern bathroom design is the move towards open, spacious layouts – and at the centre of that look is the wet room shower screen. At BathroomNation, we’ve helped countless homeowners transform traditional bathrooms into sleek, practical wet rooms using high-quality wet room shower screens. In this blog, we’ll explain what a wet room shower screen is, why it’s such a smart choice, how to plan and style it, and what to look for when choosing the perfect one for your home. What Is a Wet Room Shower Screen? A wet room shower screen is a fixed or semi-fixed glass panel designed to separate your shower area from the rest of the bathroom floor, without enclosing it like a traditional cubicle. Instead of a full tray and door, you have:

• A level or gently sloped floor (often fully tiled)
• A walk-in, open shower space
• One or more glass panels providing splash protection

The shower screen helps contain water spray, while keeping the room visually open and easy to access. It’s the ideal solution for creating that walk‑in, hotel‑style shower experience at home. Why Choose a Wet Room Shower Screen? A wet room shower screen offers several practical and aesthetic benefits that make it an increasingly popular choice. 1. A Sense of Space and Openness Traditional shower enclosures can visually chop up a room, especially if they use heavy framing or smaller panels. A wet room shower screen, usually made from large, clear glass panels, allows the eye to travel further and lets light flow freely. This is particularly valuable in:

• Small bathrooms that feel cramped
• Rooms with limited or no natural light
• Long, narrow spaces where every inch counts

With a wet room shower screen from BathroomNation, your bathroom instantly feels larger and more luxurious. 2. Easy Access and Better Accessibility Because a wet room shower area is typically level with the rest of the bathroom floor, you don’t need to step over a high tray edge or navigate a narrow door opening. This makes it:

• Ideal for people with limited mobility
• Safer for older users and children
• More comfortable for everyday use

A wet room shower screen provides the necessary splash protection while keeping the shower zone wide and open. 3. Clean, Minimalist Look Wet rooms are the epitome of modern bathroom design: clean lines, minimal clutter, and a focus on beautiful surfaces. A simple glass screen supports that look perfectly. With BathroomNation’s wet room shower screens, you can achieve:

• Almost invisible glass boundaries
• Minimal metal hardware and framing
• A seamless link between shower and non-shower areas

The result is a calming, contemporary space that feels more like a boutique spa than a basic bathroom. 4. Easy Cleaning and Maintenance Fewer frames, tracks, and corners mean fewer places for grime and mould to build up. A wet room shower screen is largely just flat glass:

• Quick to wipe down after a shower
• Simple to clean with standard glass cleaner
• Less prone to discoloured seals and hard-to-reach dirt

Many BathroomNation screens also feature easy‑clean coatings to make maintenance even simpler. Types of Wet Room Shower Screens Not all wet room screens are the same. At BathroomNation, we offer various layouts and styles to suit different rooms and preferences. 1. Single Fixed Panel The most minimalist option is a single fixed glass panel mounted directly to the floor and wall. This works well when:

• The shower head is positioned sensibly to minimise overspray
• Your bathroom is medium or large in size
• You want an ultra‑open, walk‑in feel

A single wet room shower screen panel is a popular choice for modern renovations and new builds. 2. Fixed Panel with Deflector For extra splash protection without adding a full door, you can choose a fixed panel with a hinged or angled deflector section at the end. This:

• Extends coverage
• Helps keep more water inside the shower area
• Still keeps the openness of a walk‑in design

It’s a smart compromise where you want a bit more control over water spray. 3. Wet Room Screen with Hinged Return Panel Some layouts use a main fixed panel plus a smaller hinged return panel that can swing inwards or outwards. This allows you to:

• Increase the effective width of protection during showering
• Fold the panel away slightly when not in use to open up the space

These more flexible wet room shower screen designs are ideal in multi‑use bathrooms where you want adaptability. Key Features to Look for in a Wet Room Shower Screen When choosing a wet room shower screen from BathroomNation, paying attention to the details will ensure you get a product that looks great and performs well long-term. 1. Glass Thickness and Quality Most quality wet room screens use:

• 8mm toughened safety glass as standard
• 10mm toughened glass for an even more solid, premium feel

Thicker glass tends to feel more robust and luxurious, with less movement or flex. All BathroomNation screens use toughened safety glass designed for bathroom environments. 2. Easy-Clean Coating An easy‑clean or anti‑limescale coating helps:

• Prevent water spots and mineral build-up
• Make daily and weekly cleaning quicker
• Keep your wet room shower screen looking clear and new for longer

It’s a small upgrade that pays off in reduced cleaning effort over time. 3. Height and Width Options Wet room shower screens come in multiple heights and widths to suit different spaces:

• Taller screens (often 1900mm or more) provide better splash control
• Various widths let you create both compact and expansive walk-in areas

BathroomNation offers a range of sizes so you can find a screen that fits neatly without awkward gaps. 4. Support Bars and Bracing Because wet room shower screens often rely on floor and wall fixings without full frames, discreet support bars or braces may be used to stabilise the glass. These:

• Enhance rigidity and safety
• Are typically mounted at the top, near the ceiling or wall
• Can be designed in finishes that match your brassware (chrome, black, brass, etc.)

The aim is to keep the look light and minimal while ensuring the screen is secure. 5. Hardware Finishes The few bits of visible metal – wall profiles, support bars, hinges (if applicable) – can contribute significantly to your overall style. BathroomNation wet room shower screens are available with:

• Chrome
• Brushed nickel
• Matt black
• Brushed brass or gold tone

Matching your screen hardware to your taps, shower valve, and accessories creates a beautifully coordinated bathroom. Planning Your Wet Room with a Shower Screen Before choosing a wet room shower screen, planning the layout is crucial to ensure both practicality and style. 1. Positioning the Shower Area Think about:

• Where the shower head will be placed (ceiling, wall‑mounted, or both)
• How water will naturally fall and drain
• How much splash you’re comfortable with elsewhere in the room

Ideally, the wettest zone is placed furthest from the door and key dry areas (toilet, vanity, storage). 2. Drainage and Floor Slope A true wet room requires carefully designed drainage:

• The floor needs a gentle, even fall towards the drain
• You can use a central drain or linear (channel) drain
• Waterproofing (tanking) is essential beneath tiles or flooring

A wet room shower screen helps contain water but doesn’t eliminate the need for correct drainage and waterproofing. BathroomNation always recommends working with an experienced installer for wet room projects. 3. Sizing the Screen Your screen should be wide enough to:

• Catch most of the spray from your shower head
• Shield the main walkway and dry areas

Common widths range from around 700mm to 1400mm and beyond. Larger screens create a more defined shower zone, while smaller ones work in compact layouts. Styling Ideas with a Wet Room Shower Screen One of the great advantages of a wet room shower screen is how adaptable it is to different styles. Here are some design ideas using BathroomNation products as inspiration. 1. Minimalist, All-Glass Look

• Clear, frameless-style glass panel
• Large-format light grey or stone‑effect tiles
• Wall‑mounted rainfall shower head with matching controls
• Floating vanity and wall-hung toilet

This style is bold, contemporary, and perfect for design‑led homes. 3. Spa-Like Sanctuary

• Ultra-clear glass wet room shower screen
• Natural stone or stone‑effect tiles in warm tones
• Brushed brass shower fittings
• Niche shelving built into the wall for toiletries

Add soft, fluffy towels, warm lighting, and a plant or two to create a relaxing retreat. Wet Room Shower Screen vs Traditional Enclosure You may be wondering whether a wet room set‑up is really better than a conventional enclosure. Both have their place, but a wet room shower screen offers some clear advantages. Wet Room Shower Screen

• Open, walk-in design
• Easier access, especially for mobility needs
• More airy look, less visual clutter
• Simpler to clean (fewer frames and corners)

Traditional Enclosure

• Fully enclosed, more contained water
• Usually involves a tray and door
• Can feel more “boxed in” in smaller rooms

If you value openness, accessibility, and modern style, a wet room shower screen from BathroomNation is a strong choice. If maximum containment and traditional feel are priorities, an enclosure may still suit some situations. Cleaning and Maintaining Your Wet Room Shower Screen
