Green Lake Master Bath Transformation
Primary Suite Remodel from 1920s Layout to Modern Sanctuary
If you live in Green Lake, you know the charm of a 1920s home often comes with a bathroom that feels like an afterthought cramped, poorly ventilated, and showing its age
The Reality of Green Lake Remodeling: Solving the "Hidden" Problems
Many Seattle contractors will offer a quick “refresh,” but in older homes near the lake, that’s a recipe for disaster
We handled everything from the initial structural evaluation to the final City of Seattle inspections

Walk-In Shower: High-End Design Meets Proper Waterproofing
Engineering the Floor:
-
We utilized a curbless entry design paired with a linear drain system for a seamless look
. -
This walk-in shower conversion reclaims the wasted square footage of the original tub, making the Green Lake suite feel larger without adding to the home’s footprint
. -
It also serves as a foundation for universal design elements like bench seating and wider entries
.
Vapor Protection:
-
In our humid climate, improper waterproofing leads to mold and structural rot
. -
We installed a fully-bonded Schluter-Kerdi membrane system behind every wall and floor pan to protect this home from moisture damage for decades
. -
Every installation is plumb and code-compliant, separating a tailored custom bathroom from a standard cosmetic upgrade
.
The Finishes:
-
We paired large-format Calacatta porcelain with a custom rift-sawn oak vanity to bring warmth to the space.
-
No big-box shortcuts were taken; instead, we created a custom shower tailored to the architectural character of the home
. -
This includes hand-selected tile, custom glass work, and built-in niches for storage
.
