Bathroom

As I began this project I looked at how the bathroom could be designed differently. I concluded that far too many bathrooms are dark and closed to the rest of the home. I decided to turn the bathroom inside-out. Because of its extroverted design the bathroom allows users to be better connected with their home and each other, whether using the bathroom or not. The undulated surface mimics stratified rock faces and creates beauty with water and light. The material is a translucent plastic. The translucency serves practical and aesthetic purposes. The glass is switchable, meaning that at the flip of a switch the transparent glass instantly turns opaque, allowing users the option of privacy. The bathroom is ideal for a city loft.
