Lakeville Master Bathroom Remodel: Transforming Space Through Strategic Planning

Twin Cities Bathroom Renovation Experts Showcase Planning Process

At Country Creek Builders, we believe the success of any bathroom remodeling project begins long before the first tile is removed.

Our recent Lakeville master bathroom remodel perfectly demonstrates how proper planning and thoughtful design can transform challenging spaces into stunning, functional retreats.

The Challenge: Maximizing Space in an Awkwardly Designed Bathroom

This Lakeville master bathroom presented several common challenges found in many Minnesota homes:

• Limited vanity space with only a single sink
• Poorly positioned door placement restricting vanity expansion
• Inefficient use of space with an oversized drop-in tub
• Undersized shower area lacking modern features

The homeowners' primary goals included adding a double vanity, creating a larger shower with built-in features, and updating the overall aesthetic while maximizing the existing footprint.

Our Meticulous Planning Process

Professional Permitting

Every Country Creek Builders project begins with proper permitting.

For this Lakeville bathroom remodel, we secured all necessary permits to:

• Split a single vanity sink into dual sinks
• Relocate and expand the shower
• Rework plumbing connections
• Ensure all modifications met current building codes

We always pull appropriate permits regardless of city requirements, providing homeowners with peace of mind that all work is up to code and properly inspected.

Strategic Door Relocation

The key design innovation in this project was the strategic relocation of the bathroom entry door. By:

• Moving the door further down the wall
• Creating space for a full 144-inch vanity with dual sinks
• Eliminating the awkward original door placement

This seemingly simple change dramatically transformed the functionality of the entire bathroom.

Thoughtful Closet Integration

To further optimize the space, we:

• Removed the hinged closet door that interfered with the new vanity
• Created an elegant arched doorway for the master closet
• Eliminated door swing issues while maintaining a cohesive design aesthetic

Bathtub Modernization

Another space-saving technique involved:

• Removing the bulky drop-in tub
• Installing a sleek, contemporary freestanding tub
• Reclaiming valuable square footage for other features

Luxury Shower Expansion

The expanded shower area now features:

• Custom built-in bench seating
• Partial wall with recessed storage niche
• Improved layout for a more spa-like experience
