The project
The house
A 1920s house on Queen Anne Hill with a small primary bath and a step up into the shower.
The plan
Lower the shower floor between the joists for a curbless entry, and fit a tub under the window.
The build
We reframed the floor, waterproofed the whole room and set large-format tile with a linear drain.
The result
A bath that is easier to use now and later, with heated floors.
No step into the shower was the whole point, and it came out exactly as drawn.
