Dining Table

A Place to Bathe

plan-
After researching private baths, I found that only royalty used to bathe alone. I took the idea of royalty, and my own interpretation of a "relaxing" bath and came up with this design.

The ramp circulates around the middle pool area to close off the center and make it more intimate and relaxing.
section-
The pool in the center has four walls surrounding it to close the space in. Waterfalls also come down from the walls so their is sound within the space. The only lighting in the space is underneath the waterfalls because I wanted to keep the room dark and intimate.

perspectives-

The colors are all very dark to make the space appear smaller than it really is. There is one pop of color where the waterfalls are to add contrast. this color is purple, which represents the color of royalty.
When thinking about what I would want in a bathing situation, I felt that something closed in would be the most relaxing. This is why I created a room with enough space to allow for handicapped accessibility, but made it so the people can still be independent and relax all by themselves.
