To stay within budget and not add a new addition to the home , the design team carved out a portion of the oversized garage . The new layout allowed for a larger shower , larger double vanity , more floor space and an extension of the bathroom : an outdoor shower space .
Perfect for rinsing off after a beach day before entering the house , a shaded walk-out door next to the luxurious bathtub leads to the outdoor shower and dressing area made of cedar . The wood is low maintenance , and over time it will weather to a beachy gray without needing to be continuously refinished . This was a hit with Jay , a surfing enthusiast , as well as the kids to use after swimming in the pool .
Originally , the primary suite only offered one closet for the Dukes to share , which was not sufficient for their needs . With the expansion , a new , walk-in closet with built-in storage was constructed using extra space from the adjacent garage .
Heather complimented Red House on “ its attention to detail and customer satisfaction like no contractor I have used before .” She gave kudos to general manager Justin Zeller and his team for their hard work and looks forward to working with them again in the future . ◆
