Japanese bath has been completed at 1801 E Tioga. Planning and construction by Mancini Design Build. Custom birch vanity is 12.5" x 46" with clever access panel designed + installed by Mancini Design.
The design is based on typical Japanese design aesthetics of placing the toilet in a separate space away from the bathing area and also having a separate changing room. In my design the changing room has storage for towels and toiletries, a basket for clothes, a place to hang your robe and a sink.
That leaves the bathing room with tub and shower that is entered via the shower door.
This addition began with tearing down the original bathroom addition that was poorly insulated,
had aluminum wiring, water damaged sub floor soft enough to put your foot through and termite damage.
I rebuilt on the existing foundation framing with 2x4 pressure treated lumber for the bottom plate and also studs to resist future water and termite damage. I cantilevered the roof 4'-6" beyond the wall with
2x6 studs to offer shade over a small walk out veranda. Roof insulated with R-19 batt and reflectix foil insulation for a combined R-30 http://www.reflectixinc.com/ .
Floor joist extend and support exterior veranda.
Exterior is T 111 exterior grade sheathing protected with wood stain.
insulation in walls are standard R-15 batt insulation covered with 5/8" mold resistant drywall. Crawlspace was completely insulated using reflectix foil insulation,combined with 1" ridgid foam, then double 6 ml plastic over the dirt crawlspace.
Heating is supplied via radiant heat through 1/2" oxygen barrier pex tubing sandwiched between two 5/8" sub floors.
Finished flooring is Kimona Silk 12x24 tile from Daltile Philadelphia branch
