The client for this 500-square-foot master bath remodel gave designer Troy Adams carte blanche to create a “cool spa-like concept that was also masculine.” Taking his client’s words to heart, Adams centered the room on a stainless steel Japanese-style soaking tub that itself soaks within a shallow, pebble-filled pool. The freestanding wall behind the tub screens an open shower with a constantly cascading waterfall that spills into the pool. Traversing the pool is a teak bridge that connects the shower to an over-the-cliff vista of Hollywood in the valley below via floor-to-ceiling glass. Adams says crossing the bridge feels like walking the plank.
In addition to the glass-walled shower and big windows, a large panel of glass backs the double vanity allowing light to be shared between bath and hallway. At the flick of a switch the glass wall goes from translucent to opaque, giving the owner complete privacy.
