Basement Renovation

In the basement of this suburban home, an awkward bathroom built to accommodate a home gym was unpleasant and featured a dark and cramped prison-like shower accessed by squeezing through a narrow, tiled entry. We tore down the wall that had separated the shower from the rest of the bath and replaced it with glass. New stone tile lines the walls and bench seating was placed in an inset space at the shower door. A new casement window brightens the space with natural light. We also renovated the adjacent laundry room, adding new windows, tile, and cabinetry, and creating a much more appealing space. Photo by Shelly Harrison.
