Grand Master Bathroom Remodel
May 15, 2009 by Shawn Van Dyke · Leave a Comment
Remodeling a master bathroom always requires a careful and thoughtful balance of design and constructability.
The DESIGN…
The existing ‘Master Bathroom’ in this house was what I call a “Hotel Style” bathroom. The vanity was located between a walk-in closet and the space/room where the shower and toilet were located. You see this layout in many hotel rooms, where the vanity is not included in the ‘bath/shower/toilet area.’ This works fine for a weekend stay away from home, but feels slightly non-discrete when it is your master bathroom.
Not only was the shower area cramped, but also the toilet was also so close the edge of the shower/tub that the customers had little room to maneuver.
