Bathtime and birdsong
Not all privacy elements have to be indoors – this tranquil, natural-toned bathroom is screened by outdoor planting which also attracts birdlife
Designed by Ben Hudson Architects
From the architect:
The design revolves around the homeowners' desire for a tranquil retreat that combines comfort, functionality and natural elements.
A challenge we faced with this space was fostering a connection to the outdoors without compromising the owners’ privacy.
Rather than rely on internal blinds or opaque glazing, we created a screen of native planting outside.
The concrete bath and a palette of gentle, earthy colours embodies warmth and relaxation, while the outdoor planting invites native bird song and enhances the connection to nature, transforming the bathroom into a tranquil haven.
