This older home had lots of character, but only a tiny bath on the second floor—which had been added to a cramped attic space. The owners loved their home, but wanted a true master bath.
Finding space for a modern master bath in an old home is typically very challenging. Unfortunately, there was no space to be re-purposed from any of the adjacent bedrooms or storage closets.
To accomplish our goals, we planned a renovation that would expand an existing shed dormer, to create the master bath the homeowners really needed in order to keep from having to look for another home.
Preliminary Plan:
Scope of work:
1 Remove the existing attic bath, roof section, and shed dormer siding and trim.
2 Frame the new master bath over the existing footprint of the first floor, extending the shed roof to cover it.
3 Install new exterior trim, siding, and roof.
4 Bring new plumbing supplies and drains from the basement to service the bath, and relocate the vent stacks through the new roof section.
5 Build a custom shower, water closet, and dual vanity in the new space.
