PROJECT OVERVIEW
This focused renovation at 102 Bridge Water addressed serious deficiencies in two bathrooms where original construction had resulted in leaking, unusable showers. The project restored essential functionality for a family of four who had been limited to sharing a single downstairs bathroom while creating beautiful, practical spaces that coordinate seamlessly with the existing home.
THE CHALLENGE
The homeowners faced significant hardship when construction defects rendered their main bathrooms unusable due to persistent leaking issues. Rather than undertaking a complete gut renovation, they needed a targeted solution that would address the shower problems while maintaining cohesion with existing elements that remained in good condition. The project required careful material selection to ensure new elements would harmonize with existing finishes, creating a unified look without unnecessary demolition and expense.
THE TRANSFORMATION
PRIMARY BATHROOM REIMAGINING
The primary bathroom received a strategic renovation that maximized functionality while creating a luxurious retreat. Improvements included: Removal of the problematic original tub and installation of a spacious walk-in shower featuring dual shower heads for enhanced comfort and convenience. Thoughtful incorporation of an existing window with new frosted glass that preserves privacy while allowing natural light to flood the space. Addition of a dedicated makeup area with a custom double vanity and specialized lighting that enhances the room's functionality. Integration of traditional trim elements that maintain design continuity with the home's established aesthetic.
SECONDARY BATHROOM RESTORATION
The second bathroom received focused attention to address the critical shower issues while ensuring design consistency. This included: Complete reconstruction of the non-functioning shower with proper waterproofing and contemporary materials. Careful selection of finishes that complement existing elements while providing durability and style. Updated fixtures that improve functionality while maintaining visual harmony with the home's overall design language.
HARMONIZING NEW WITH EXISTING
Special attention was paid to creating a seamless integration between new elements and existing features. This careful approach: Preserved functional and aesthetic elements that didn't require replacement. Selected complementary materials and finishes that create design continuity. Maintained the bathroom's original footprint while dramatically improving its functionality. Respected the home's established character while incorporating contemporary performance standards.
THE RESULT
This targeted renovation successfully transformed dysfunctional bathrooms into beautiful, practical spaces that serve the family's needs perfectly. By focusing on addressing the critical shower issues while making thoughtful upgrades to enhance functionality, the project delivered maximum value and impact without unnecessary scope expansion.
The family now enjoys fully functional bathroom spaces that support their daily needs, eliminating the inconvenience of sharing a single downstairs bathroom. The primary bathroom, in particular, has been transformed into a true retreat with its spacious walk-in shower, dedicated vanity area, and abundant natural light. Throughout both spaces, careful material selection ensures that new elements harmonize beautifully with existing features, creating a cohesive look that appears intentional rather than piecemeal.
