Concept drawing
This hundred year old house needed a powder room and coat closet on the entry level. The plan to add this interior space is "borrowed" from the attached garage. Beyond the archway will be the planned small addition.
The addition
The closet is through the arched opening on the left; the powder room is on the right. The thickness of the arch is the depth of the exterior stone wall. The space just beyond the dining room needed to be beautiful and it is. Guests seem to forget that it wasn't always there...
Tiny powder room
We specified the smallest pedestal sink that complemented the homeowner's style. The toilet, sconces, mirror and handheld shower all take into consideration the diminutive scale of the space.
Handheld shower
We designed the room to be a "wet room" with the floor pitched away from the door to a linear drain. This was planned to help the homeowner age-in-place.
Water-saving Toto toilet
Achieving the correct scale for all the elements required careful planning.
Entry
The closet door is across from the bathroom. The sconces that flank the mirror are wet-rated and to code for use in a shower room.
Grab bars serve dual functions
Toilet paper holder and towel bar are both anchored into solid wood blocking beyond the tile. They are pretty to look at and will prove invaluable if and when needed.
Wetroom drain
This linear drain is designed to accept tile, so the polished marble border continues virtually uninterrupted. The mosaic pattern is exquisite!
Putting the drain in perspective
Porcelain tile walls meet the marble floor, where the drain is as inconspicuous as possible. It can be lifted if needed for cleaning or rescuing a lost earring.
