My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Beautiful. Can it be modified for a steam shower?

13 years ago
Saw this photo years ago in the SF chronicle and clipped it. Finally getting around to remodeling my bath, and this is still the most beautiful execution of the tub in shower concept I've ever seen. Is there a way to modify it for a steam shower without losing the clean transitions from room to shower or creating a claustrophobic tile box in the shower?

    Hi, Thanks for the very kind words. I think that it would be pretty easy to extend the glass wall to the ceiling (and I guess into the skylight wells too). The limestone wall surfaces would have to be everywhere in the steam zone...there might be a condensation issue at the skylights even though they are dual glazed.
