A tub to shower conversion is a thorough facelift to your bathroom. It is found that over 60% homeowners prefer stall shower in place of bath tubs. However, it is a good idea to preserve at least one tub in your home to ensure its marketability as you might not know what the buyers might want in the property they buy from you. If you wish to go for a simple tub to shower conversion , then the way out shall be to remove the old tub and gain a space of 30 to 34 inches deep and 5 feet wide. This will provide a great place for a shower. Just make some minor modifications and adjustments needed and you will have a great shower in place. The point is that...

Human size the basis of architectural and interior design standards . According to Scientific American, over the past 150 years, the average height of human beings in industrialized nations has increased by about 4 inches. Overall, the reasons for this are better food supply, improved diet and the control of diseases. When you visit a home built in the 18th century, ceilings are obviously lower and door frames are smaller. Depending on the style of the era, fireplace openings, room size and window size might also be more condensed and feel off. Therefore, remodels conducted in historic homes or apartment buildings are exceptionally challenging. We are attempting to deliver modern conveniences to homes that were originally designed for humans of different heights. I am picturing a house in Cavendish on Prince Edward Island in Canada where L.M. Montgomery wrote her famous tales about the red- haired orphan Anne of Green Gables. The narrow staircases and hallways and petite rooms are d...

Is your bathtub the one thing in your house that is getting the least amount of use and soaking up valuable space? Have your children grown up and you no longer need a tub? Tub-to- shower conversion s are a hot trend among today’s homeowners, as the “tub-less” bathroom is showering homes with safety, style and function. Tubs are out According to the 2013 Home Design Trends Survey by The American Institute of Architects, more than 60% of homeowners preferred a stall shower without a tub. Let’s face it: soaking in a soothing hot bubble bath may sound like a great idea, but how many of us really have the time or luxury to indulge ourselves? Tubs are often a necessity for bathing small children , but when they grow up, why would you need it? Shower safety Tub-to- shower conversion s are becoming more popular with empty nesters and seniors as they view walk-in showers as a safer alternative to their bathtubs. Climbing over a bathtub wall can present a safety hazard as we age. Converting y...

ideashare June 22, 2015 Bath is 5'4" x 11'4", 28" entry door opens into left side of room in front of vanity. Most of the drywall "walls" (not ceiling) have been removed with the exception of a few inches around the vanity & toilet. The current vanity is 36"W & a 22"D x 21"W drywall closet with door has been removed. This drywall closet covered up the Pointy Area in the ceiling. I would miss the function of the linen closet, but removing it has made the room look better and feel much less crowed especially to the side of toilet. I tried shopping for a 36" vanity and 15"W linen closet, but did not know they only seemed to come in 90" 88" 84". Thought of sawing the top off, but afraid I would ruin the cabinet. If I go with the linen closet look again, had planned to drywall the top pointy area above it. The bottom of the pointy area begins @ 79". The bath goes from left to right - old 36"W van...

From a crowd- funded smart shovel to a why-didn’t-someone-do-this-sooner scheme for managing traffic in public restroom s, these ideas are noteworthy for creative problem -solving. Here are some of the most intriguing innovations the BD+C community has brought to our attention this year.   1. TRUSS SYSTEM UNDERGIRDS MONUMENTAL STAIR Structure becomes art at a Massachusetts college library To invite exploration of its new academic library, Salem (Mass.) State University selected a light-filled and airy design. The site and program called for deep floor plates , so the Building Team devised a dramatic open staircase as a central feature to help break up the density. The engineering solution consists of a truss that supports the whole stair, with each step created from a triangular box beam that hangs off the truss. Stairs are stringer-free and accented with eye- catching red paint . Glass panels protect users while showcasing the design. The prominent feature is also visible from...
