Boardwalk Bathing Tropical Deck, Sydney

6. Kicking Back in a Leafy Setting in AustraliaLocation: Sydney, AustraliaType of tub: Outdoor bathtub made of white fiberglass and reinforced concreteHome: Large, resort-style house; the outdoor bathing space, 9.8 feet by 16.4 feet (3 meters by 5 meters), is an extension of the master bathroomThe owners of this home wanted an outdoor bathroom as a place to relax and unwind. They also craved the sense of freedom that comes from bathing outside in a tropical setting, created here through plants and lighting. The jungle-like space is filled with slender weavers bamboo (Bambusa textilis ‘Gracilis’), gray star ctenanthe (Ctenanthe setosa ‘Gray Star’), bromeliads (Bromeliad spp.), bird of paradise (Strelitzia reginae) and variegated mondo grass (Ophiopogon intermedians ‘Stripey White’). After a long day at work, the owners like to light some candles and relax with a good book or magazine. They love that they have a day spa feature in their own home — a unique, luxurious space they can escape to without leaving the house. They use it quite frequently, except in the depths of winter, when the indoor tub is more appealing.Shop for bathtubs on Houzz

I like the natural sunny outdoors, but it still has privacy.
