When the second floor owner’s suite and basement laundry room in this 1938 home no longer served this couple, we worked to create an addition that was sensitive to the historic qualities of the home as well as to their desire to remain active in their home as long as possible. A new ensuite addition, complete with a new laundry room and terrace provides accessibility and ease of use. Utilizing our expertise in universal design, the addition provides features such as a curbless shower, convertible vanity, sensor activated lighting, and flooring designed to enhance traction and safety, all while complementing the lovely historic home.
