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.

Our homeowners approached us with a need to remodel their ¾ bathroom due to a leak. They wanted a classic style complete with wainscoting, crown molding and oil-rubbed bronze hardware. The pedestal sink pairs perfectly in this space as since this is not the master bath and the homeowners children have all grown and moved out they were not concerned about storage. A few floating shelves above the toilet serve as the perfect location to house towels and a few decorative items.

Bagno padronale, giocato tutto sui toni del bianco e dell'azzurro con inserti in legno. La sostituzione della vasca tradizionale con il piatto doccia da 120 cm, ha consentito la realizzazione di una colonna dalla duplice funzione: nicchia portaoggetti sul lato della doccia e vano colonna con ripiani in legno portasciugamani sull'esterno. Per i rivestimenti abbiamo giocato con due finiture diverse: un effetto carta da parati per la zona lavabo e sanitari ed un effetto mattoncino per l'interno della doccia. Anche in questo ambienti richiami classici, con la rubinetteria ed i corpi illuminanti.

Established in 1895 as a warehouse for the spice trade, 481 Washington was built to last. With its 25-inch-thick base and enchanting Beaux Arts facade, this regal structure later housed a thriving Hudson Square printing company. After an impeccable renovation, the magnificent loft building’s original arched windows and exquisite cornice remain a testament to the grandeur of days past. Perfectly anchored between Soho and Tribeca, Spice Warehouse has been converted into 12 spacious full-floor lofts that seamlessly fuse Old World character with modern convenience. Steps from the Hudson River, Spice Warehouse is within walking distance of renowned restaurants, famed art galleries, specialty shops and boutiques. With its golden sunsets and outstanding facilities, this is the ideal destination for those seeking the tranquil pleasures of the Hudson River waterfront. Expansive private floor residences were designed to be both versatile and functional, each with 3 to 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a home office. Several residences enjoy dramatic Hudson River views. This open space has been designed to accommodate a perfect Tribeca city lifestyle for entertaining, relaxing and working. This living room design reflects a tailored “old world” look, respecting the original features of the Spice Warehouse. With its high ceilings, arched windows, original brick wall and iron columns, this space is a testament of ancient time and old world elegance. The master bathroom was designed with tradition in mind and a taste for old elegance. it is fitted with a fabulous walk in glass shower and a deep soaking tub. The pedestal soaking tub and Italian carrera marble metal legs, double custom sinks balance classic style and modern flair. The chosen tiles are a combination of carrera marble subway tiles and hexagonal floor tiles to create a simple yet luxurious look. Photography: Francis Augustine

This traditional home in Villanova features Carrera marble and wood accents throughout, giving it a classic European feel. We completely renovated this house, updating the exterior, five bathrooms, kitchen, foyer, and great room. We really enjoyed creating a wine and cellar and building a separate home office, in-law apartment, and pool house.

This vintage style bathroom was inspired by it's 1930's art deco roots. The goal was to recreate a space that felt like it was original. With lighting from Rejuvenation, tile from B&W tile and Kohler fixtures, this is a small bathroom that packs a design punch.

The space is a harmonious blend of modern and whimsical elements, featuring a striking cloud-patterned wallpaper that instills a serene, dreamlike quality. A sleek, frameless glass shower enclosure adds a touch of contemporary elegance, allowing the beauty of the tiled walls to continue uninterrupted. The use of classic subway tiles in a crisp white finish provides a timeless backdrop, complementing the unique wallpaper. A bold, black herringbone floor anchors the room, creating a striking contrast with the lighter tones of the wall. The traditional white porcelain pedestal sink with vintage-inspired faucets nods to the home's historical roots while maintaining the clean lines of modern design. A chrome towel radiator adds a functional yet stylish touch, reflecting the bathroom's overall polished aesthetic. The strategically placed circular mirror and the sleek vertical lighting enhance the bathroom's chic and sophisticated atmosphere.
