Aging-in-place remodeling in Windermere

This house

At Lake Butler the bath is curbless and open to the lake. Shades are on the glass. The porch under the bath had failed, so beams and columns went in.

On a Windermere lake house, the wet room and the rear of the house belong together. Lake Butler is the bath. The lanai and outdoor kitchen are part of the same kind of job when the house is opened with it.

How this job is built

We sit in the house before the design begins. At Lake Butler the job was the whole house: a curbless master bath, new windows, a new clay-tile color, and beams and columns under the bath where a sinkhole had opened the back porch. Shades went on the lake glass while those walls were open. The first visit is free and on the property.

The Lake Butler bath shows how a step-free shower can belong in a lakefront renovation. For a wheelchair roll-in, we also plan the clear opening, turning space, reach to the controls, and room for assistance.

Lake Butler bath

Curbless wet room. You walk onto the wet plane. It still faces the water.

At the glass

Shades are part of this bath, so the afternoon sun on the lake glass is easier to live with.

The lake house

The bath, the windows, and the structure under the porch were this job.
