This book features 35 specially commissioned bathroom designs by notable international architects. Once regarded as a merely utilitarian room, the bathroom is now seen as a stylish feature of the home, with an increasingly wide range of sophisticated fixtures and fittings and luxury building materials available. Arranged into chapters according to the dominant material used - stone, timber or glass - each of the featured bathroom designs is accompanied by an image of the whole house, clear photographs of the bathroom itself, and a floor plan showing its relation to the other spaces.

This book examines about 30 bathroom designs from around the world, each one designed by a notable architect and created especially for a specific residence. For each bathroom there is an image of the whole house (placing it in context and providing a flavour of the general design style), images of the bathroom, and a floor plan showing its relation to the other spaces.

The pages that follow are entirely devoted to detailed drawings showing the arrangement and construction of the bathroom, in particular sections, elevations, and construction details of all the fitted units and joinery. These drawings are all made to a consistent style and to a set number of scales for easy comparison. Dimensions are also included with the drawings as well as details of fitted units (baths, showers, basins etc.). The credits for the projects include contact details of suppliers so that the exact materials and fixtures can be sourced.
