The Sail Loft, Cornwall.

The Sail Loft is a stunning, family-run holiday let in Calamansac in Cornwall. The property overlooks the beautiful River Helford and has access to two private beaches and fifty acres of gardens and meadowland.

Over 25 years of letting out this beautifully appointed holiday home, the Green Family had always wanted to make it fully accessible, but had never known quite how to do it. When the time came for the property to be refurbished, it was a prime opportunity to update the accommodation and make it universally accessible at the same time.

Motionspot was approached by interior designers Fran Keen Consultancy to create the fully accessible bathrooms. The brief was to design a space that would match the airy Scandinavian feel and mid-century features while being fully compliant and flexible enough to adapt to any party’s access requirements.

Motionspot responded to the brief with a design featuring a selection of removable technology, including removable grab rails which can be taken off when not required and fixings replaced with cover plates. A removable shower seat and shower riser rails which double up as support bars offer discreet support when in the shower. The basin includes clever built-in hand grips that can also be used as towel rails. A push button call alarm system also removes the need for unsightly red pull cord but offers guests the assurance that help is on hand if required.
