Project Overview
This Ahwatukee, Arizona bathroom remodel completely reimagined both the master bathroom and guest powder room into fresh, modern spaces. Our team updated the layout, tile, lighting, and finishes to create a cohesive, spa-inspired look that feels brighter, more open, and more functional than the previous dated configuration.
We began by removing the old shower and relocating it to a new wall, allowing for a more open layout and better functionality. A custom wet wall was built to maximize the new design, while a floating Better Bench adds modern style, comfort, and usability. This shower relocation demonstrates how thoughtful space planning can transform a bathroom’s flow and visual appeal without expanding the room’s footprint.
The shower features 12×24 marble-look porcelain tiles on the walls paired with a mosaic shower pan, creating a timeless, spa-like atmosphere. For warmth and cohesion, we installed wood-look plank tile flooring throughout the bathroom. To complete the transformation, our team scraped and retextured the ceilings, repainted the walls, added recessed lighting, and installed new baseboards—achieving a crisp, modern look that ties the entire remodel together beautifully.
This dual-bathroom renovation demonstrates our ability to handle complex projects involving layout changes, custom construction, and coordinated finishes across multiple spaces.

Why This Design Works for Ahwatukee Homes
Relocating a shower represents one of the most impactful layout changes you can make in a bathroom remodel. While many renovations simply replace finishes within the existing footprint, moving the shower to a more functional location can completely transform how the bathroom works and feels. This Ahwatukee project demonstrates how strategic replanning creates better flow, improved functionality, and more open visual space—all without expanding the bathroom’s square footage.
The floating Better Bench adds both luxury and practicality. While shower benches were once considered purely accessibility features, modern designs like the Better Bench bring spa-like styling that benefits everyone. Whether you’re shaving, enjoying a leisurely shower, or simply want the option to sit, the bench provides convenience that homeowners appreciate daily. The floating design keeps floor space clear for easier cleaning while maintaining a sleek, contemporary aesthetic.
Choosing marble-look porcelain tile over real marble provides the best of both worlds. You get the timeless elegance and luxury appearance of marble without the maintenance headaches, staining concerns, or higher costs. Modern porcelain manufacturing creates such realistic marble patterns—including natural veining and color variation—that most people cannot distinguish them from authentic stone. For Arizona bathrooms, this practical choice delivers lasting beauty without ongoing maintenance requirements.
Wood-look plank tile throughout both bathrooms creates visual cohesion that ties the spaces together. Rather than having the master bathroom feel disconnected from the powder room, the consistent flooring creates a unified design story. The warmth of wood tones prevents the bathrooms from feeling cold or sterile while maintaining the waterproof durability that tile provides—essential for Arizona’s climate and bathroom moisture levels.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you relocate a shower to a different wall?
Yes! Relocating a shower requires building a custom wet wall, rerouting plumbing lines, and ensuring proper waterproofing and structural support. As a licensed general contractor, we handle all aspects of shower relocation including framing, plumbing modifications, waterproofing systems, and tile installation. Moving a shower can dramatically improve your bathroom’s layout and functionality.
What is a Better Bench and why should I include one?
A Better Bench is a floating shower bench system that provides modern styling with practical functionality. Benefits include convenient shower seating for shaving or relaxation, easier cleaning underneath (no legs touching floor), sleek contemporary appearance, and spa-like luxury. The floating design integrates seamlessly with tile work while maintaining open floor space.
Is marble-look porcelain better than real marble for showers?
For most homeowners, yes. Marble-look porcelain delivers authentic marble aesthetics without the maintenance requirements, staining concerns, or etching risks of real marble. Modern porcelain tile is more durable, easier to clean, more affordable, and performs better in wet environments while providing the timeless elegance of natural marble. It’s an ideal choice for Arizona bathrooms.
Should I remodel my master bathroom and powder room at the same time?
Remodeling multiple bathrooms simultaneously offers several advantages: coordinated design across spaces, potential cost efficiencies, single disruption period rather than multiple projects, consistent material selections and finishes, and comprehensive home improvement. If you’re planning updates to multiple bathrooms, doing them together often makes practical and financial sense.
