BATHROOM PORTFOLIO
|
This
1970s California contemporary is undergoing a whole-house
renovation. The new bathroom has transformed the master suite
into an Asian-inspired spa, including a traditional Japanese ofuro
(bath).
|
|
 |
|
The deep ofuro tub is the centerpiece of the tranquil meditation area,
separate from the rest of the bath. A wall of glass block allows in
light from the room’s only window while screening the ofuro
from the rest of the bathroom. |
|
 |
|
The authentic ofuro is true to the traditional Japanese architecture
and design. It is made out of traditional hinoki wood and was custom
built by one of the only American companies that make them. |
