Karen and Jeff wanted to convert their original 1980’s bathroom into a modern looking fully wheelchair accessible bathroom with a barrier-free entry into the shower and separate water closet. They liked the design technique of combining a shower and tub into one “wet area” while keeping the accessibility features. We got to work designing a bathroom layout that would work with the existing main drain system in the home. We wanted to bring in as much daylight into the bathroom without compromising daylight in the shower and tub area. Our solution was to incorporate interior acrylic “glass block” awning windows in the design of the shower and tub area to bring in daylight without compromising privacy. The modern stand alone tub with floor mounted tub filler, shower head/sprayer on a slide bar, shower caddy for soap and shampoo, and bench seat combined to create a wonderfully accessible and functional bathing area.
