Bathrooms do not always enjoy the same vistas as adjoining rooms. This is for reasons of privacy, as well as to offer up prime positions to living spaces that are more often used. But this does not mean that a bathroom always has to be dark and small.

When designer Ken Leung from Original Vision renovated this Hong Kong townhouse to make the most of the panoramic outlook, he wanted to find a way to bring the outdoors into the bathrooms, even though they did not have a view.

"As the key design concept was to enhance the relationship between interior and exterior, it was vital to select colours, materials and textures that complement the outdoor environment," he says.

In the master ensuite, the focal point is the egg-shaped bathtub. This organic shape, together with the stone tiles, brings nature inside. Placing the shower in a separate bathroom gives the space an open, spa-like feeling. A shaded window by the tub provides privacy as well as natural light.

Secondary lighting is reflected from the master bedroom via the floor-to-ceiling mirrors of the interconnecting wardrobe.

The natural material palette has been further enhanced through the inclusion of timber cabinetry and flooring within the suite.
