A Japanese inspired garden bathroom setting can be one of the most relaxing and enjoyable.

Imagine a tub and garden combination! Architect Hugh Kennedy had clients who had lived in Japan for several years and were used to deep soaking tubs surrounded by gardens. They wanted their tub to be the focus of the bathroom, big enough for two people to soak in water up to their chins and look out at the garden.

Kennedy set about to create this Japanese-inspired haven. The biggest challenge was the tub. It had to be deep enough for the purpose but allow for overflow and low enough for a garden view. One of his goals was to keep the tub in proportion so that it wouldn’t overwhelm the bathroom.

His solution was to make the tub six inches higher than the floor of the adjoining shower and connect the tub and shower with a slanting platform three feet wide by an inch deep. The platform could serve as a spillway if necessary.

Large picture windows in the bathroom focus on the garden, which is surrounded by carefully positioned shrubs and trees. In this Japanese-inspired design, you can relax in the tub and feel like you’re outside.
