One of the most prominent trends I see with clients today is their request for spa amenities in their master baths. Often they have experienced such amenities during stays in luxurious hotels or spas, seen them on TV or read about them in magazines. Today’s sophisticated client wants to bring this opulence home to enjoy everyday, not just a few times a year. To install spa-like functionality, however, one must plan accordingly to accommodate all that they require. This is especially true in a renovation.

Two separate clients of mine recently requested the installation of body showers with multiple showerheads as we renovated their master suites. They loved the spa-type comfort and relaxation these showers offer. But with an output of up to 80 gallons per minute, such showers have specific plumbing requirements. My expertise in both construction and architecture continually enables me to problem solve such issues for my clients. This situation required replacement of both the water line and wastewater line to and from the new master bath to allow for the massive water flow this sort of shower produces. In the end it was worth it for our clients. After a long day, a lavish shower experience awaits them in a spa of their very own.
