A new tub-shower combo

May 24, 2011, at 9:00 am by Berit Griffin

While perusing the latest news on Apartment Therapy, we saw their beautiful slideshow of cool bathrooms. You should check it out! One picture in particular captivated us:

It’s a modern and chic take onthe bathroom, with what appears to be slate floors and walls, lots of natural light and a monochromatic look accentuated with pops of color.

But it’s the bath-shower that really draws attention. We love the curved showerhead that allows water to pour down like a waterfall and we especially love the sunken tub. It makes the bathroom look 10 times bigger. The eye barely registers that it is a tub-shower combination.

The one thing we wonder though: Is it safe? Without any (visible) handrails, could stepping down into the tub be more of a falling risk? What do you think? Is a sunken tub-shower combination a fresh new look for the bathroom?

That photo came from the Apartment Therapy post we linked to. If you follow the link trail from there, you end up at this French site: http://www.cotemaison.fr. But there, the trail goes cold, as they just point to the home page. But really, it doesn't look like there's much "product" to buy there. It looks like a custom-built item, don't you think? Thanks for stopping by!

I'm pretty sure the surfaces are concrete and not slate.

I like it! I can't imagine it's any more of a falling risk than stepping up and over a tub edge. I'm also sure that if the homeowner was concerned a handrail or grasp could always be added.

These beautiful homes in Singapore have green roofs, a number of water features and lots of wood and stone, giving them the feeling of a connection with nature.
