Modern Chicago Condo Bathroom Remodel Wins Excellence Award

Allocating space appropriately is a critical component of every good design, but making sure that every inch is used wisely becomes a dominant criterion when renovating in a high rise Chicago condo.

Before the renovation, this bathroom had a large soaking tub that was almost never used and the bathroom lacked adequate storage.  The bathroom was also feeling out of date and did not match the homeowner’s style and décor throughout the rest of the residence.  They decided it was time to make a change to their master bathroom, and enlisted the assistance of Normandy’s Stephanie Bryant.

Stephanie and the homeowners talked over wants, needs, and pain points as they began developing a plan of attack for the new space.  The homeowners opted to remove their bathtub, a common request Normandy Designers are noticing in recent years, which gave them the opportunity to allocate their space in a way that better suited their needs.

Making significant plumbing changes in a condo can be a challenge due to the nature of living and working in a high-rise, and this building was no different.  Stephanie worked closely with the plumbers and building management to make sure that the removal of the bathtub and other elements did not cause any issues for other residents of the building, while ensuring that the homeowners’ vision would be fulfilled.
