“With aging in place top of mind, we envisioned a bathroom that would support our independence for years to come. Our wish list included barrier-free access, seated shower options, and thoughtful fixture placement, all wrapped in beautiful materials and finishes that made the space feel indulgent rather than institutional.”
—The McSorelys, Fox Chapel
Our solution required complete structural remediation, accompanied by comprehensive waterproofing systems built to last. Collaborating with R3A Architecture, we incorporated a curbless shower around existing windows, relocated plumbing, added an en-suite laundry closet, and selected finishes that harmonized with the preserved original vanities.
The barrier-free shower entrance with strategically placed fixtures and controls allows the McSorelys to shower safely and comfortably for years to come.
Radiant heat in the shower floor, shower bench, and main bathroom floor creates a spa-like experience while providing warmth and comfort underfoot.
The large built-in bench offers a safe and comfortable seated shower option without compromising style or visual appeal.
Custom tilework, paired with a distinctive terrazzo floor, creates visual interest and timeless elegance that complements the preserved vanities.
A luxurious freestanding tub offers a relaxing retreat, maintaining the bathroom's spa-like ambiance.
Thoughtfully integrated laundry access adds convenience without compromising the bathroom's design aesthetic.
State-of-the-art waterproofing systems throughout ensure the bathroom’s structural integrity will last for decades.
What began as an emergency repair evolved into a comprehensive renovation, providing the McSorelys with a beautiful, accessible bathroom designed to support their independence for years to come.
