One for all: in creating a universal bath, tight space and special considerations need not present an aesthetic handicap
Article Abstract:
Irrespective of lack of space, with proper planning and specific considerations, a first-floor sitting room, bath and closet was converted into a bedroom suite with a universal bath. The universal bath had a pocket door instead of a hinged door, which allowed a wheelchair user to open it easily, a roll-in shower, sink, medicine cabinets and a tilting mirror and fixtures that were located at lower positions.
