The narrow bathroom beyond had a practical layout, but lacked style and felt like a closet.

Our homes reflect our lifestyles. There are times when we have active lifestyles and times when we slow down. “Universal Design” is a concept that has been promoted to make homes more livable for a lifetime of use. Universal Design features are subtle and stylish. You would never know that a house is purposely designed for use by anyone, at any age and with any ability.

Instead of continuing to deal with the space as it was, she made the choice to upgrade it to fit her style, and to work for her long-term needs. The result is a spectacularly crisp and modern universally-designed bathroom. This bath is a NARI Local Contractor of the Year 2015 Winner in the Universal Design Category.
