pat and penny’s wetRoom

Pat and Penny’s Victorian terraced house had a pokey little bathroom with a short bath and little window making it a dark and miserable room.  They both shower and wanted to create a more practical space with more light.  They were considering a light tube through the roof but when I surveyed the room I realised that the original Victorian window had been blocked up thus reducing the light by 50%.  All I needed to do was come up with a plan to give them a walk-in shower, a small wash basin, a loo and some storage.

I love using cross-corner solutions so the loo and basin were wall hung for ease of cleaning and a spacious look and put on the 45 degree thus allowing a replacement window to be installed to its original size.

The shower door solution was the most fun part of the design.  With the absence of a shower tray, the design allows the shower door to close across the shower valve which sits back into a recess with shallow alcoves either side for shampoos, etc.  So it’s effectively stowed away until it’s required making the shower almost invisible and the room more spacious.
