This is a bathroom in a 1920’s house for a group of nuns in Portland, Oregon. I was asked to renovate an original bathroom to accommodate the need for an accessible walk-in shower as well as additional storage space. Given the extremely small budget, design decisions had to be affordable and effective. The result was a bathroom that has become the model for other renovations done in similar houses by the church group. The barrier-free entry to the shower was achieved by installing an in-floor drain at the threshold. The design successfully achieved a splash-free shower without glazing above the half-wall. Casework was to become storage that would be seamlessly integrated into the design.
The Roche Health Center Masterplan was the result of research completed in Tanzania, East Africa and in Cincinnati with Village Life Outreach Project and the Roche Health Center Committee in Tanzania.
