THIRD PLACE / SECONDARY BATH
Sharing is Caring — This unique bathroom
was designed for double duty being shared
between a teenage brother and sister. To make
it functional for both getting ready for school,
we created private shower stalls for each, a stall
for the toilet, a large vanity and separate hair
and make up station.
Client Needs:
• Bathroom suitable for two teens to share.
• Private space for each teen, while still
allowing general access. Ample storage for
toiletries.
• Storage for pool towels as this bathroom
doubles as the pool bath.
• Space for a cat litter box.
Design Solutions:
• The first thing we did was create individual
shower stalls, one for each teen. They are
completely private with obscured glass
doors with room for soap and shampoo, and
towel hooks outside the doors. Next to the
showers, with the same door style, is a
private WC.
• Extra-large vanity with two sinks and a
separate hair/make up station. Double-sided
towel storage with access from the hall and
the bathroom.
• Cat litter box storage in a niche just outside
the bathroom door.
Special Features:
• Black and white striped hex tile floor – this is
carried out into the corridor outside the
bathroom as well.
• Sliding barn door to close off the room
without the option for locking.
• Personal shower stalls provide privacy and
eliminate the need to schedule showering.
