After renovating their first floor a number of years ago these homeowners have returned to Bel Air Construction to focus on the second floor of the home they have lived in since 1999. The focus of the renovation is the master bath. The primary objective for the redesign is a high-functioning and aesthetically pleasing space. Within the design objective is the desire for a large shower with no door.

The homeowners were living in what was originally intended to be their starter home. Nearly two decades have passed and they are still there. After deciding to stay, they determined they needed a larger and updated kitchen as well as more living space adjacent to the kitchen for entertaining. Working with the Bel Air Construction team, that starter home is now their forever home.

This project initially started as a discussion about remodeling the kitchen but morphed into a major renovation of the entire second floor including the addition of a new master suite and bath.

Homeowners wanted to rework and transform the bathroom and make it safe as resident dealt with the progression of Parkinson’s. The room was tight, with a very small shower and had a bulky unusable, unsafe tub.

Deciding that they were living in their forever home, the recently retired homeowners recognized that their nearly 30-year-old 1990s style master bathroom needed an update and upgrade.The driving factor was a larger shower with a seat and other spa-like features.

From her travels and extensive research this design savvy homeowner knew what she wanted to do with her 16-year-old builder’s grade master bath – create an elegant and luxurious modern spa-bath.

In anticipation of their home becoming a multigenerational household, these homeowners wanted to create an in-law apartment in their unfinished basement.

The master bath in this 1990 vintage home was calling out for help. Aesthetically it was tired, dated and needed an update. Functionally it was a disaster with a large unused tub and 16 square feet of dead space consuming most of the room. On top of that there was a moisture and mold issue that needed to be addressed.

The homeowners had remodeled their home incorporating art and crafts features to create a lodge feeling with dramatic soaring ceilings, rough-hewn timber beams, rustic woods and dark wood floors and natural wood trim work. When they looked at the home’s bathrooms, they did not measure up to the arts and crafts look of the rest of the home.

A master bath transformation was needed because the home was built in early 1980’s and the master bath remained as originally built consisting of a large unused tub with small shower.
