Summary:
Completely Reimagined, Floor to Fixture
4×6 Zero-Entry Shower with Frameless Glass | Freestanding Pedestal Soaking Tub | Herringbone Tiled Feature Wall
This Downtown Cincinnati primary bath remodel didn’t get a refresh — it got a complete rethinking. Working with interior designer Rachel Henry of Sanctuary Designs, Vision Construction relocated the tub, shower, and vanity, rerouted the mechanicals on the third floor to accommodate the new layout, and delivered a space that feels open, calm, and entirely intentional.
The layout for this mid-sized primary bath underwent many changes. The tub, shower, and double vanity were all relocated from their original locations with the toilet remaining in the same general location. The addition of a zero entry shower, frameless glass surround alongside relocating & replacing the alcove tub with a timeless pedestal soaking tub allowed this space to feel less busy and optimizing the usability of the space. This space was beautifully curated with the creative touch of Rachel Henry, a talented interior designer based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Her choice of tile, fixtures and reconfiguration of this space provided a timeless and elegant feel that the homeowners will enjoy for years to come.

Challenges & Solutions
Relocation of Plumbing Fixtures
Challenge:
Being on the 3rd floor, routing new mechanicals to accommodate the new fixture locations made was the primary challenge for this project.
Solution:
Additional time was taken in this phase to ensure all fixtures were supplied and drained properly. However, this did not affect the overall estimated timeframe.
What to Expect
Design Phase
This project was designed by Rachel Henry of Sanctuary Designs. Rachel worked closely with the client and worked through the overall floor plan, material selections, tile pattern, color palettes & textures that make this space complete.
Project Planning
During the design phase, we worked with Rachel & the client to establish a realistic budget for the project, timeframe, start date and more. Once the designs were completed, selections were made we had all the information to present a formal proposal.
Customer Onboarding
The customer is given access to Buildertrend, a platform where we manage all of our projects, providing the customer with daily updates for completed phases, submit change orders, secured payments & more
Project Preparation
With the designs confirmed, selections made, budget set, time frame arranged & signed project proposal it was time to get started. With all material selections made, ordering was made easy. We ordered all the materials directly to our shop in preparation for the project start date and ensured all items were indeed correct and intact. Just one damaged item could have caused unnecessary lead time.
