The Okafor wet room
A five-by-nine hall bath rebuilt as a curbless wet room, with terracotta zellige and a floating oak vanity from the shop.
The only full bath in the house, five feet by nine, serving two adults and a toddler. Rather than fight the footprint we embraced the wet-room approach: one waterproofed volume, a curbless shower behind glass, and a floating vanity that keeps the floor visible corner to corner.
It was also the family’s only toilet, so the schedule was built backwards from that fact: demolition to working plumbing in one day, and a temporary shower rig in the basement for the two weeks of tile work.

“Their first estimate and the final invoice were the same number. In this industry that fact alone deserves five stars.”
