These clients had a need to create an accessible space for their aging family at their home. Approximately 1000 SF of single story living space was added onto their house, as well as large common space and an accessible bathroom with roll in shower.

This Waukesha bathroom remodel was unique because the homeowner needed wheelchair accessibility. We designed a beautiful master bathroom and met the client’s ADA bathroom requirements. Original Space The old bathroom layout was not functional or safe. The client could not get in and out of the shower or maneuver around the vanity or toilet. The goal of this project was ADA accessibility. ADA Bathroom Requirements All elements of this bathroom and shower were discussed and planned. Every element of this Waukesha master bathroom is designed to meet the unique needs of the client. Designing an ADA bathroom requires thoughtful consideration of showering needs. Open Floor Plan – A more open floor plan allows for the rotation of the wheelchair. A 5-foot turning radius allows the wheelchair full access to the space. Doorways – Sliding barn doors open with minimal force. The doorways are 36” to accommodate a wheelchair. Curbless Shower – To create an ADA shower, we raised the sub floor level in the bedroom. There is a small rise at the bedroom door and the bathroom door. There is a seamless transition to the shower from the bathroom tile floor. Grab Bars – Decorative grab bars were installed in the shower, next to the toilet and next to the sink (towel bar). Handheld Showerhead – The handheld Delta Palm Shower slips over the hand for easy showering. Shower Shelves – The shower storage shelves are minimalistic and function as handhold points. Non-Slip Surface – Small herringbone ceramic tile on the shower floor prevents slipping. ADA Vanity – We designed and installed a wheelchair accessible bathroom vanity. It has clearance under the cabinet and insulated pipes. Lever Faucet – The faucet is offset so the client could reach it easier. We installed a lever operated faucet that is easy to turn on/off. Integrated Counter/Sink – The solid surface counter and sink is durable and easy to clean. ADA Toilet – The client requested a bidet toilet with a self opening and closing lid. ADA bathroom requirements for toilets specify a taller height and more clearance. Heated Floors – WarmlyYours heated floors add comfort to this beautiful space. Linen Cabinet – A custom linen cabinet stores the homeowners towels and toiletries. Style The design of this bathroom is light and airy with neutral tile and simple patterns. The cabinetry matches the existing oak woodwork throughout the home.

Extraordinary renovation of this waterfront retreat on Lake Cherokee! Situated on almost 1 acre and over 300 feet of coveted water frontage in a quiet cul-de-sac in Huguenot Farms, this 3 bedroom 3 bath home boasts stunning views of the lake as soon as you walk into the foyer. To the left is the dining room that connects to the kitchen and leads into a private office through a pocket door. The well-appointed kitchen has granite countertops, stainless steel Frigidaire appliances, two-toned cabinetry, an 8’ x 4’ island with farmhouse sink and view overlooking the lake and unique bar area with floating shelves and beverage cooler. Spacious pantry is accessed through another pocket door. Open kitchen flows into the family room, boasting abundant natural light and spectacular views of the water. Beautiful gray-stained hardwood floors lead down the hall to the owner’s suite (also with a great view of the lake), featuring granite countertops, water closet and oversized, frameless shower. Laundry room and 2 nicely-sized bedrooms that share a full bath with dual vanity finish off the main floor. Head downstairs to the huge rec/game room with wood-burning fireplace and two sets of double, full-lite doors that lead out to the lake. Off of the rec room is a study/office or fourth bedroom with full bath and walk-in closet, unfinished storage area with keyless entry and large, attached garage with potential workshop area.

Hall Bathroom

This couple needed maximum storage in a small space. This 36" vanity uses every inch of space! There is a shelf and roll-out drawer in what is normally just open space underneath the sink, and a pull out shelf organizer instead of a medicine cabinet..

Custom built double vanity and storage closet

The roll under ADA compatible vanity has a removable panel covering the sink plumbing pipes. This prevents scalding of the user's legs.
