Pennsburg Transitional Master Bath & Interior Renovation

A Primary Suite & Interior Transformation in Pennsburg, PA

Project Overview

Location : Pennsburg, PA

Project Type : Master Bath, Primary Suite & Interior Renovation

Timeline : 4 Months

Budget : $250,000

The original home featured a dramatic two-story great room, but the layout no longer supported the family’s needs. With too few bedrooms and an undersized, outdated second-floor bathroom, the homeowners wanted a solution that would improve functionality, privacy, and comfort—without expanding the home’s footprint.

Our design approach focused on reclaiming underutilized vertical space while creating a refined, highly functional primary suite and enhancing key living areas throughout the home.

The Challenge

The old stone farmhouse presented several challenges:

A two-story great room that reduced usable square footage

Insufficient bedroom count for the family’s needs

An outdated and undersized second-floor bathroom

Lack of a private, well-appointed primary suite

An underutilized second-floor office space

The challenge was to reconfigure the home’s interior in a way that added meaningful square footage, improved flow, and delivered long-term livability—while maintaining architectural integrity.

Our Solution

We engineered and installed a new structural floor system to convert the two-story great room into a comfortable single-level living space below. This allowed us to build a completely new primary suite above, transforming the home’s layout without expanding outward.

The new bedroom is spacious and light-filled, designed as a true retreat. It opens directly onto a second-story walkout deck and screened porch, extending the living space outdoors and creating a peaceful connection to the surrounding landscape.

Master Bath & Suite

To support the new primary bedroom, we expanded and reconfigured the former hall bathroom into a spa-inspired primary bath.

Designed a generous two-person walk-in shower enclosed with heavy frameless glass

Installed a dedicated soaking tub for relaxation

Selected quartz remnant vanity tops paired with Kara polished nickel cabinetry pulls

Finished the space with Adoration porcelain tile for texture and visual interest
