Dreambuilder announces completion of Dreambuilder Fourteen: a master shower remodel

Friday, August 12th, 2011

Dreambuilder Custom Homes is pleased to announce the completion of Dreambuilder Fourteen:  a master shower remodel for the McElyea family in Orange Park, FL.

This Eagle Harbour family had a large but dated master shower that needed style – but more importantly, they needed a place to easily care for their special-needs child.  The current shower, with a raised curb and 2’ wide door, prevented wheelchair access.  As a result, the McElyeas bathed their daughter in the bathtub, which was becoming more difficult as she grew.

Dreambuilder announces Dreambuilder Fourteen: an accessible master shower remodel

Friday, July 1st, 2011

Dreambuilder Custom Homes is pleased to announce its latest remodeling project:  a master shower for the McElyea family in Eagle Harbor.  This remodel is special, however, because in addition to the typcial remodeling updates, Dreambuilder is making this shower handicap-accessible for the McElyeas’ special-needs daughter.

The shower is stylistically outdated with bland tile, brass trimmings and basic plumbing fixtures.  Dreambuilder will update the space with fresh tile, updated fixtures and a frameless glass enclosure.  Additionally, the door will be widened from 2′ to 3′ to allow wheelchair access and the shower floor will be re-set to ‘zero-entry’ for ease in moving the chair in and out.  A grab bar will be installed for stability and a second, hand-held shower head will be plumbed to aid in bathing.

The end result will be a beautiful, updated shower that also meets the needs of the McElyea family.

Ravine and foliage inspire this contemporary farmhouse in its urban location

One look at the August Residence and you might assume it’s a custom home built into rolling hills in the countryside. In reality, it’s a home built in a very urban location designed to look like it is in the country. Or as J.R. Ruthig, associate AIA, managing designer for Dominick Tringali Architects in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., will tell you, it’s a contemporary farmhouse design.
