01

The brief

The floor fell nearly two inches across the room, the waste line ran uphill for part of its length, and the only window sat inside what the owners wanted to become the shower.

We levelled the floor, corrected the drain fall from the crawl space, and waterproofed the window reveal so it could stay exactly where it was.

They spent two days on the floor before laying a single tile. That is why it still looks right two winters later.
