Coates Design Architects has completed a bathroom with a sunken bathtub as part of an overall house project on Bainbridge Island in the State of Washington.
The bathroom has a number of design elements that work together to create a calming environment. Clear stained fir plywood adds a natural touch to the space. At one end of the bathroom is the shower, with a white and light grey mosaic tile shower, that even features tiles on the ceiling.

The bathtub has a small step to aid getting into the tub, while a built-in seat and an inline heater that helps keep the water warm adds a touch of comfort.
