The Gregory Master Bathroom












For this project I designed an accessible master bathroom for the Gregory home. Three themes I tried to carry out in this design were warmth, romance, and calming. This bathroom incorporates my original concept model in the way it plays with light. The focus wall has a treatment with the paint that uses subtle gold flecks. Dimmer lights set within foe candle fixtures and lighting behind the mirrors create a soft glow when desired. Dark, but warm colors and a rustic sand stone floor give the room medieval feel. The other idea behind this room design was to create a bathroom that did not look like it was designed for a person with disabilities. I feel I created this idea successfully with there being only two telling details; grab bars around the toilet and lowered fixtures. The shower is large enough to roll in with an accommodating wheel chair and do a full 5ft. turn around with out grab bars or special seating.
One thing I feel I could have done better with this assignment was create a more appealing presentation board. It doesn't necessarily represent my design very well or interestingly enough.
