Problem:
Original 1920's style bath alcove, very dark and enclosed. Not enough storage, glaring & hot halogen lights placed by previous owner at vanity. Very narrow space vanity is minimal depth.
Wishlist:
To turn bath alcove into a walk in shower, make more light and open, add more storage including recessed medicine cabinets.
After
My solution:
Removing the soffit that formed the alcove over the shower and the toilet was the first step to open up the space. The openness and new cabinetry that met the clients needs better, including two recessed mounted medicine cabinets and a built in clothes hamper.

After
Notes:
The bamboo seen from the window is the perfect art to compliment the shower.
You don't see it now, but there is backing behind the tile for additional grab bars for aging in place.
