Transforming a Classic Guest Bath

In a century-old home full of charm, DorianBahr undertook the meticulous renovation of a classic guest bathroom. The goal was to boost functionality and expand the space without losing its historical essence. By cleverly utilizing the larger dimensions of an adjacent bedroom, the team transformed a modestly sized guest bath into an enchanting retreat.


Enhancing Accessibility with Style

A standout feature of this renovation is the inclusion of an ADA-compliant shower, demonstrating DorianBahr’s commitment to creating functional, accessible, and beautiful living spaces. This modern shower is designed with a low-threshold entry, spacious interiors for easier maneuverability, sturdy grab bars, and a flexible handheld showerhead. These features are integrated seamlessly, ensuring that the bathroom's historical charm is maintained while meeting today's accessibility standards.


A Fusion of Historical Elegance and Modern Design

To further enhance the space, DorianBahr incorporated geometric tiles and designer niches with intricate geometric mosaics. These elements respect the bathroom’s architectural heritage while adding a burst of modern energy. The tiles are not only aesthetically pleasing but are strategically placed in the ADA-compliant shower and throughout the bathroom to enhance functionality. These thoughtful details from DorianBahr showcase a mastery of combining materials and design concepts, resulting in a space that honors its past while embracing the present.
