Bathroom

Bathrooms are not just functional spaces anymore, but rather the focal points of many modern renovation projects. This shift in bathroom design is influenced by two factors. One is the recognition that the old-fashioned bathrooms were mostly built for practicality and convenience, without much regard for aesthetics or personal expression. The other is the desire to create a more enjoyable and meaningful bathing experience, inspired by the rich and diverse traditions of different cultures. From the Persian Hammam and the Roman bath houses, to the Japanese Bathing Rituals and the Balinese flower baths, these ancient practices show how bathing can be a form of art, wellness and socialization. Therefore, today’s designers need to have a deeper understanding of the available materials, the spatial constraints and the budgetary considerations, as well as the design and construction standards of the existing or surrounding structures, in order to create bathrooms that are both beautiful and functional.
