Left: The bathroom’s layout provides a clever use of space, with the shower zone achieving privacy but also visual connection to the outdoors. As part of the project, the bathroom windows were lengthened – both to optimise natural light and to provide views out to the garden from within the freestanding bath. search | save | share at
