We verify correct corridor spacing, preparation spaces, and exit paths, ensuring ADA compliance and secure appliance placement.

Utilize traffic flow analysis to track and improve traffic flow and reduce cross-traffic. Reorganize the sink, range, and refrigerator to establish a compact work triangle or zoned galley layout, depending on spatial layout and layout objectives. Specify sliding pantry units, upright organizers, and corner storage systems to enhance storage efficiency without increasing floor space. Add task lighting at workstations. Finalize the plan with quantifiable metrics: walking distance decreased, cubic inches added, and efficiency gained per operation.

Durable, Stylish Finishes

Elegant Soaking Tubs

Establish comfort and convenience by choosing a premium insulated soaking tub that meets both safety and comfort requirements. Choose freestanding tubs with fortified foundations, 50-75 gallon volume, and deep soaking dimensions (19-23 inches to overflow) for total body soaking. Check compliance listings, non-slip surfaces, and controlled overflow systems. Put in a 2-inch trap, accessible shutoffs, and anti-scald measures via thermostatic mixing valves set to 120°F max.

Maintain adequate floor space (30x48 inches minimum) for sideways access, with a seat-height rim (17 to 19 inches), and support bar reinforcement at 33-36 inches AFF. Incorporate a low-threshold or transfer deck, non-slip flooring, and secure anchoring. Specify noise-reducing sound dampening, 0.75-inch supply for enhanced delivery, and independent GFCI where heated surfaces are installed. Complete with anti-fungal caulk and balanced ventilation.

Saunas and Steam Showers

Install protected steam piping, a self-cleaning steam generator, and a pressure and heat control valve. Determine generator specifications using room volume, surface materials, and window factors to ensure rapid warmup and stable moisture content.

The design incorporates insulated doors with tight gasketing, a low curb or zero-threshold entry, and anti-skid surfaces for safe entry.

Energy-Efficient Additions and Whole-Home Renovations

Prior to starting drawing up plans for a whole-home renovation, determine performance goals that align with Title 24, CALGreen, and Energy Star requirements to cut utility loads and costs. Analyze envelope, HVAC, and DHW loads, then correctly size systems using Manual J/S/D. Select high-R thermal insulation, airtightness ≤3 ACH50, and high-performance glazing suited for Modesto's climate zone. Incorporate induction cooktops, heat-pump space conditioning, and heat-pump water heating along with smart controls and multi-zone ventilation systems.
