Accessible Bath Design

Accessible Bath Design

Create safe, comfortable bathrooms for all life stages.

As Boston homeowners age or welcome multi-generational family members, we design accessible baths that blend safety with style. Our team understands Massachusetts' building codes for accessibility and can create curbless showers with proper drainage slopes for older home foundations.

We reinforce walls for future grab bar installation even if not currently needed, and select slip-resistant tiles that work with mobility devices. Every accessible design maintains aesthetic appeal with choices like frameless glass shower enclosures and comfort-height vanities with knee space.
