The idea was to make the space appear larger, more open without knocking the walls out into the guest bathroom or taking space from the Master Bedroom.  The customer felt claustrophobic while being in the shower/toilet area.  Also, the ceiling had been lowered to allow for a single recessed can light over the vanity area.  Thus the area was poorly lit, there was no flow between the spaces and it gave the feeling and impression of being very small.

The solution was to provide a contemporary design that would include knocking out the walls that divided the three sections.  The shower would be moved over to where the closet used to be, the toilet would slide up to where the shower was located and a larger vanity would occupy the space in between the two areas.  A longer light bar would be installed above the new vanity along with recessed can lights above the shower for extra lighting.

Larger tiles were used in the shower and the floor to give the appearance of being a slab of natural stone.  In fact, the tile was a high quality porcelain tile that was manufactured to look like Limestone.  Along with a seamless glass shower door and wall to enhance the openess of the area, the bathroom now looks much larger.  The false ceiling was lifted and double pocket doors were installed for privacy.  The benefit of the double pocket doors was that it kept the flow between the bedroom and bathroom, making the space look even larger.
