Gary and Marla’s Majestic Master Suite
When the owner gives you two bedrooms, two closets and a full bathroom space to work with and gives you creative license to design a single master suite, from a design perspective it doesn’t get much better than that. When the charge is to create a fully wheelchair accessible bathroom it gives you plenty of room to maneuver. That is just what this project entailed. While keeping enough floor space for a normal master bedroom and walk in closet, most of the time was spent on the bath design. Goals were accessibility (for the future), modern upscale style, ease of use, and lots of natural light without having to rob a bank. You will be the judge and jury for this completion but the owners and I have already voted this project the best of the best in fulfilling all of the goals. Several of the more notable features include a double swinging shower door that provides access to the large glass block wet room shower partially divided by a glass partition from the commode area. The entry to the bathroom using twin 8’ high doors that fold flat against the wall through the use of flush ring pulls in lieu of traditional handles. The entry of the bedroom off the hall has leaded glass doors that mirror the glass on the front door downstairs.
