Supporting Everyday Living: An NDIS Bathroom Renovation on the Sunshine Coast
At Nyblad Construction, we take pride in delivering high-quality Sunshine Coast renovations that are not only beautiful but practical and built to suit real life. One of our most recent projects was a NDIS bathroom renovation designed for a local family whose daughter, Keira, lives with achondroplasia — a form of dwarfism that affects bone growth and results in shorter stature.
This bathroom needed to be safe, accessible and functional, while also working well for other family members. The end result? A highly considered, NDIS-compliant space that balances thoughtful design with clean, modern finishes.
A Functional Design for the Whole Family
When designing a bathroom for NDIS participants, it’s essential to start by understanding the everyday needs of the user. Keira’s parents wanted her to feel independent in her own home — and that started with ensuring the layout and fit-off selections suited her height and mobility.
At the same time, this bathroom would be used by other members of the household, so our team created a layout that could comfortably accommodate everyone.
Some of the key features included:
- A double vanity with two basin heights - a practical solution for shared family use
- A Nero Mecca Care T-bar grab rail and adjustable shower head to allow for flexible showering and support
- A shower niche placed at a height where Keira can independently access her own shampoo and toiletries
- Light switches, taps, door handles and towel rails installed at accessible heights
These inclusions weren’t just about meeting code or ticking off requirements, they were about delivering a space that truly works for this family in everyday life.
Balancing Function and Style
We believe that accessible design shouldn’t come at the cost of visual appeal. This bathroom fits seamlessly with the rest of the home thanks to its modern finishes and high-end tile selections.
The clients supplied their own floor-to-ceiling tiles, which give the space a polished, timeless look while also being easy to clean and maintain. The brushed fittings and warm neutral tones elevate the design, proving that a functional bathroom can absolutely be beautiful, too.
The final outcome is a bathroom that’s inclusive, durable and visually cohesive. In other words, a space that feels like a natural extension of the home, not a clinical or institutional addition.
Built Under the NDIS
This renovation was completed under the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme), which provides funding for home modifications that support individuals living with a disability.
Our team is experienced in navigating the NDIS process and understands the requirements involved in these types of projects. We worked closely with the NDIS team to ensure all compliance standards were met while also prioritising usability and long-term value.
Whether it's adjusting fixture heights, ensuring non-slip finishes, or integrating grab rails and mobility supports, our approach is hands-on and tailored to the needs of the individual.
Why Accessible Renovations Matter
As part of our broader work in Sunshine Coast renovations, we often speak to families who want to improve the liveability of their home without compromising on style or quality. For families like Keira’s, the ability to safely and comfortably use a bathroom independently is about more than convenience; it's about dignity, empowerment, and daily comfort.
This project is a great example of how smart, inclusive design can make a lasting difference in someone’s life. It’s the kind of work that reminds us of the value in what we do and how considered renovations can create truly meaningful change.
