Aging-in-Place Whole Home Remodel in Corvallis, Oregon

Corvallis, or

Summary

When the Irvine’s chose to remodel their home, they focused on transforming it into a more functional, cohesive, and future-ready space. This whole home remodel included the primary suite, guest bedroom, hall bathroom, hallway layout, and supporting systems throughout.

Walls were removed, bathrooms were relocated and rebuilt, closets were redesigned, and finishes were replaced from floor to ceiling. The result is a thoughtfully reconfigured private wing that feels connected, comfortable, and built for long-term livability.

Client Needs

The Irvine’s primary bathroom and hall bathroom were outdated and required a full remodel. The layout between bedrooms and bathrooms felt inefficient, and storage solutions were limited.

They wanted:

A reimagined primary suite with improved accessibility for aging-in-place
A relocated and fully redesigned hall bathroom
A more functional guest bedroom and an office
Improved hallway flow and spatial organization
Updated finishes and storage throughout the space

The hallway was shortened to improve overall layout efficiency, and interior walls between bedrooms and bathrooms were removed and reframed to support a completely new floor plan. This was a structural reconfiguration designed to create better flow and comfort for aging-in-place.

Solution

To solve the pain points that our clients felt and to help them better prepare for the future, we addressed structure, layout, mechanical systems, and finish details throughout.

Primary Suite Remodel

The primary suite was completely transformed.

Key upgrades included:

A new curbless tile shower
Heated tile flooring
A new hickory vanity with plenty of storage
Strategically placed grab bars

Within the primary closet, we installed custom hickory cabinetry and a lighted closet system. These improvements elevated both storage capacity and daily functionality.

Hall Bathroom Remodel

The hall bathroom was relocated across the hall from its original location and fully redesigned.

Updates included:

New alcove bathtub
Heated tile floor for comfort
Double vanity
Linen cabinet for added storage
Grab bars for aging-in-place

The relocation improved flow within the hallway and created better separation between private and shared spaces.

Guest Bedroom, Office, & Hallway Updates

Throughout the bedrooms and hallway, we:

Installed new carpet
Added new doors, baseboards, etc.
Painted walls and ceilings across the entire space

The hallway itself was reconfigured to support the new bathroom placement and overall circulation, creating a more spacious layout.

Systems & Infrastructure Improvements

Because this was a whole home remodel of multiple connected spaces, we also addressed key systems and infrastructure:

Updated electrical layout with new lighting, outlets, and USB-integrated vanity receptacles
New plumbing
Relocated HVAC vents and improved ventilation
Sound dampening insulation to create a quieter space

These upgrades ensure that what is behind the walls performs as well as what is visible on the surface.
