La reforma de este baño con su estilo atemporal y toque vintage-moderno no estuvo exenta de desafíos creativos. Uno de los retos más intrigantes fue la disposición de los nuevos platos de ducha, condicionados por la ubicación predeterminada de los desagües existentes. Para superar esta limitación, se optó por la artesanía y se creó un plato de ducha de obra revestido con los mismos azulejos hexagonales terracota del pavimento. La ejecución de esta solución requería una gran dosis de habilidad y dedicación, resultando en una verdadera obra de arte que fusiona lo funcional con lo estético.

When we received this project, the majority of the bathroom had already been destroyed, and the new vanity was already in place. Our main contribution was the new ADA accessible shower. We decided to keep the Saltillo tile and brick wall in the bathroom to keep some of the original Southwestern charm of the home, and create a stone flooring for the base of the shower. By mixing a variety of colored stones and creating a stone detail up the side of the shower, we were able to add a modern and fresh touch to the shower. Aside from the stone detail, the sides of the shower are made up of rustic wood-look porcelain which fits the overall aesthetic of the bathroom while still being easy to clean. To accommodate a wheelchair, the shower is 5’ by 5’ with a 3’ door. The handheld bar at the back of the shower is an ADA compliant bar which has levers so it can be easily maneuvered. Overall, we aimed to create a sturdy structure for the shower that would hold up to various disability needs while still remaining chic. By adding rustic details and thoughtful ADA compliant components, this shower is useful and attractive.
