Seattle Luxury Bathroom Remodel: Project Case Study

Dated Bathroom Transformation in West Seattle

After residing in the same house for more than two decades, our client's bathroom had become outdated and worn out. With a well-designed and executed plan, we helped the client create the luxury bathroom of their dreams.

Our primary objectives were to optimize the flow, enlarge the space, create privacy, and elevate the fixtures and finishes.

We started by completely gutting the existing 30-year-old bathroom and knocking out the east wall, including the rounded nook where the bathroom vanity was located. To gain an additional 60 square feet, we bumped out the space over an existing covered deck.

Optimizing the Flow & Adding Privacy

The initial layout of the space was an open floor plan that connected to the primary bedroom. Despite the current trend favoring open floor plans, the client desired a sense of privacy and seclusion.

To achieve this objective, two key strategies were implemented: the installation of a separate water closet with a wall-mounted tankless toilet, and the addition of new walls with doors to create a hallway for guest access to a rooftop deck.

Luxury Spa-like Soaking Tub & Steam Shower

In order to achieve the vision of the "height of luxury," we incorporated a soaking tub and a steam shower with ample space.

Due to limitations with the floor joists, we had to work creatively to create a shower curb that was as minimal as possible while still allowing for proper drainage.

One of our challenges was creating an access panel for easy servicing of the steam shower unit. We were able to install the unit under the shower bench and incorporate a tiled access panel to maintain a sleek and polished appearance.

Laundry Room Relocation

One of the objectives was to relocate the laundry area from the first floor to the third floor. However, the primary hurdle was the congestion caused by the doors leading to the laundry closet. To address this issue, our design experts opted for retractable pocket doors that blend seamlessly with the rest of the doors in the house.

After the completion of the project, the client expressed immense satisfaction with their newly renovated bathroom, which now exudes a luxurious hotel-like vibe.
