Marcia Moore Design

Aging in place and luxury design aren't opposites. People have been treating them that way for decades, and they're wrong.

Step-free transitions that don't announce themselves. Fixtures sized for a body at 65, not 35. A room that moves with you without making you feel like a guest in your own house. That's not clinical. That's just good design.

The clients who get this aren't planning for decline. They're planning to keep living exactly how they want to; they just need their home to keep up.

Nobody walks into this property and thinks "accessibility." They think: "I want to live like this."

That's the whole point.

That tub had to go.

Jetted tub, tile platform, honey maple cabinets, black granite. It had been there a long time, doing its best. But nobody was using the tub. Nobody ever uses the tub. And it was taking up a third of the room.

So we let it go. And what we put in its place isn't just a better shower. It's a better morning.

The angled half wall was the move. It creates a bench that lives both inside and outside the shower. You step out, and it's still there. You're getting ready, and it's a landing spot. And if your knees aren't what they used to be, or someday they won't be, it's already designed for that. Aging in place doesn't have to look like aging in place. It can look like this.

The vanity went L-shaped to finally use that wasted corner. Each sink got its own mirror with lighting around the entire edge, which is the best for putting on makeup and feeling like you look your best.

Small shifts. Big difference in how the room feels to live in every day.
