Live-In Bath Design

When architects recreated the bath design in their home, they created a space that was both inviting and soothing after a hard day’s work. By removing walls to enhance the space of their live-in bath, the duo partners made a bath makeover that actually functions with the adjoining space as an all-around lounge/living room/dressing room.

The 300-square-foot master bath , which includes an air-jet tub, a pair of vanities, a double-size glass-enclosed shower, and a walk-in closet and storage closet, maintains the character of their 1916 European-style Atlanta home while at the same time keeping it up to date with contemporary touches. “It has simple, clean lines yet is rich and well detailed,” says Pritchett. “And we made it cozy by adding stained-wood beams and a painted-wood ceiling.”

On days that are never-ending, come home and regain your sanity in a master suite with a calming bath design. This idea of surrealism and comfort was the motivation for homeowners, Mark and Jane Kendall in creating an indulgent master suite in their home. They were helped by interior designer Catherine Macfee and by certified kitchen designer, Arsenio Perez to help them make their dream a reality.

The whirlpool tub sits beneath a bay window that looks out onto a private area of the home’s garden. Consequently, the homeowners can immerse themselves in a luxuriant bathing experience—and get a great view with bountiful natural light—without concern for the neighbors.
