GETTING DOWN TO BATHROOM BUSINESS

The bedroom and bathroom on the main level are now
reserved for guests,but it was a careful consideration
by the team to design something that could eventually
serve the homeowners as their needs change.Accessibility is addressed in this and the master bath by not including a transition between the curbless shower area
and the main space - both of which are wide enough
for a wheelchair or walker user.The showers feature a
bench, a fixed showerhead and detachable handheld
showerhead with a flexible hose on a vertical slider bar.
Oversized, non-slip floor tiles in the bathrooms
provide more of a contrast between spaces so there
is no confusion if one of the homeowners becomes
vision impaired.Their large format also makes them
easier to clean.
Each of the bathrooms has single-lever faucets
for the sink and tub, which are easier to use for
those with limited dexterity, and the walls have
been reinforced to add grab bars at a later date.
The vanities - at various heights - incorporate
adjustable shelving that can be taken out to accommodate a wheelchair user. Comfort-height
toilets in each bathroom are centered 18 inches
from one wall to ensure grab bars are easy to reach.

ABOVE Each of the bathrooms

features non-slip tubs, as well
as anti-scald mechanisms in
the tub and shower areas.

The guest bath features a black, white and gray
color palette, and an upper
window lets in natural light. A
wide deck on the undermount
tub can assist someone getting in and out.

The spa-like master bath is a generous space
that would be easy to circulate in a wheelchair.
The shower floor was ramped from the outside
to create a gentle slope into the curbless shower
and drain. The tub offers a wide, curved ledge
that functions as a bench, and the toilet area was
designed with sliding doors that look like Shoji
screens for easy removal to accommodate a wheelchair user.
"The only challenge our team had to overcome
was to fit the clients' vision of an accessible space
that did not appear clinical,"said Machado-Rosas.
"Because we are certified aging-in-place specialists and have a lot of experience in this area, we
were able to grant all their wishes."

AN INVITING MASTER SUITE

The design team decided to add a small kitchenette here for convenience in case it gets hard for
one or both of the homeowners to go downstairs
on a regular basis. It includes a coffeemaker, a
beverage fridge and plush seating. The designer
said the couple already spend a great deal of time
in their master suite and that they have already
said they could live there if that became a need
in the future.
