DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT
University City Coastal Style ADA Master Bath Remodel Designer Becky Zoni-McMakin, NCIDQ, CID
The client requested a “living in place” ADA master bedroom and bathroom design for their mid-century modern home in University City. The theme for the project was a coastal, serene space with a request that it did not have a stark ADA accessible appearance. To provide additional space, we incorporated an adjacent home office in the master suite. The result was a coastal themed master suite with accessible shower room including grab bars, a bench, and roll-in entry. A separate accessible toilet room with wheelchair turning space and grab bars allows for both user-friendliness and privacy. Existing doors were either eliminated or enlarged. Sliding doors into the accessible toilet room and walk-in closet are functional and the etched glass designs add to the seaside feel. The custom vanity cabinet was designed with a removable cabinet under the sink, if needed, for future wheelchair access. The cool scheme of blues and greens with warm wood and marble stone complete the peaceful coastal style. The master suite is not only accessible for “living in place” but will be stylish and comfortable for years to come.
