2. Extended plumbing. The new bath's location, next to the old one and above the kitchen, made it easier to extend water and waste lines. Pairing fixtures - tub and shower on one wall, sinks and toilet opposite them - made running lines more efficient.
3. Maximized natural light. Adding a window in the shower and turning a door to an unused balcony into a window near the toilet let in more daylight. Light-reflecting recycled glass tile and a sunny paint color on the built-in amplified the effect.
4. Built in storage. A custom floor-to-ceiling cabinet holds toiletries, eliminating the need for above-the counter medicine cabinets - and the potential for fall-inducing climbs by little ones.
