Introduction

Creating a bathroom in a space that was never designed to accommodate one is a complex but exciting interior design challenge. This is a situation that we often encounter at HomeRev, whether in old Parisian apartments or modern spaces in the Emirates. This project requires a precise technical approach, high-end renovation know-how and limitless creativity to overcome existing constraints. Here's how we approach these ambitious projects.

Technical analysis and planning: the basis of success

The first essential step is to understand the technical constraints of the location. A bathroom requires water connections and a wastewater disposal system, which may not be available in a space dedicated to other uses. Our teams carry out an in-depth study of the building or house to identify possible connection points. This may involve drawing pipes from another room or installing a water lifting system to overcome differences in level.

For example, in one of our recent projects in Paris, we used the building's existing water networks to create a shower in a high-rise bedroom. This required careful planning to ensure discreet integration and avoid any impact on surrounding structures.

The choice of materials and design, between aesthetics and functionality

Once the technical aspects have been clarified, it’s time for design. A bathroom in a space not intended for this purpose must be functional without compromising the aesthetics of the whole. At HomeRev, we work closely with interior designers to choose premium materials that meet durability and style requirements.

In our Batignolles project, for example, we designed a shower with intelligent layout to channel the water and prevent overflows into the room. The marble, selected for its nobility and resistance, has been custom-striated to create a unique visual effect while reinforcing grip on the floor.

Optimizing space by taking advantage of every square meter

The spaces available to create a bathroom are often small, which requires careful space management. Our carpentry workshops in Moldova allow us to produce tailor-made furniture perfectly adapted to specific dimensions. Integrated shelves, niches in the walls or even compact sinks allow you to maximize the use of space while maintaining an impression of lightness and elegance.

In some cases, such as on attic projects, we have even integrated hidden storage systems or sliding panels to visually separate spaces while optimizing circulation.

Coordination and execution with goldsmith precision

A project of this scale requires perfect coordination between the different teams: craftsmen, plumbers, electricians and interior designers. Our technical teams follow a strict schedule to ensure that each step is completed on time and with impeccable quality.

At HomeRev, we also use digital tools like OPUS to centralize exchanges between the different stakeholders and ensure real-time monitoring of the project. This transparency and rigor are essential to meeting the high expectations of our customers.

Conclusion

Creating a bathroom in a space not intended for it is not simply a question of technique; it is a challenge that combines innovation, aesthetics and expertise. At HomeRev, we transform these constraints into opportunities to offer tailor-made solutions and impeccable results. Whether adding a bathroom to an existing bedroom or completely redesigning a space, our teams are committed to exceeding your expectations with each project.
