The essence of age-old bathing traditions from the Japanese with the most modern of bathing amenity delivers this wonderful deep, single person soaking bathtub. Aquatica’s Mini Tranquility is truly reminiscent of the Japanese Ofuro style of tub and like its forebear, includes a built-in seat and ergonomically-shaped back and headrest in which to sit and soak in blissful comfort. Yet all this comes in a tiny footprint of just 43”, the only bathtub like it on the market. Big enough for full-body emersion of even 6ft-plus bathers, yet so compact and space efficient it fits easily where no other bathtub can. The tub is crafted from AquateX™, Aquatica’s patented, next generation solid surface composite that provides robust durability and good looks that are smooth to the skin. The wide rim aids ease of entry into the bath, which can also be enhanced with the addition of the beautiful, optional, solid teak wood step. The other outstanding feature of this unique and wonderful bathtub, also inspired by the ancient Japanese art of bathing, is Aquatica’s water heating and recirculation system (just like the traditional Japanese oidaki). Now, you can enjoy continuous hot water within your bath, maintaining a constant temperature of 104F /40C (41-45C in Europe and other markets) without having to add fresh hot water and waste power. The built-in Tranquility heating system is utilizing a low flow/high-efficiency ultra-quiet pump. Equipped with minimalist control panel, a standard 1.5kW inline water heater (US) or 2kW (Europe and other markets) with ozone disinfection, Bluetooth audio system, and underwater LED сhromotherapy system, the Tranquility system provides the ultimate luxury bathing experience.

“The mystical reflections of Villa Borghese – Rome”… I stumbled into photography just before graduation at the U of TN while volunteering at a local hospital where I was influenced to attend Brooks Institute. The instructors preached the technical aspects of photography, and upon graduation…we could implement our own artistic vision. As a commercial photographer since graduation, I have had little time to express my artistic vision…until I went to Italy for the first time, where I discovered my true love and passion! I consider myself a “contemplative” photographer, and as such, I have a three-part process to achieve my final presentation for each image: the discovery, how I perceive the image creation, and how I hope others will perceive the image. This artistic pursuit, I imagine, is similar to Michelangelo viewing a piece of marble for the first time. Villa Borghese in Roma is a famous Gardens and Museum begun in the early 17th century, highlighted by a "Temple of Aesculapius” at the garden lake. Surrounding this small lake is a three-foot iron fence, which I now affectionately call “Il lago di dolore”, or Lake Pain! I tried to cross this iron fence with camera in hand and a 20lb bag on my shoulder…needless to say, it did not go well! Despite the intense pain, I continued to take 60 images around the lake, and upon return home, I stubbornly refused to look at them until recently. My disdain for Lake Pain kept me from discovering the true artistic vision I first saw when I began creating these images. I finally gave into the contempt I had for the Lake and began working on several images. Perhaps, the viewer will perceive the great pain it took to finally engender a feeling of solace and peace in the true vision, and find that suffering eventually brought forth eminent beauty. As for this photographer, Il lago di dolore will be a constant reminder that the creation of great art sometimes endures great pain!

The homeowners' dreamed of an Ofuro style soaking tub. We worked together to make that a reality. Our employees custom milled a surround of Ofuro cedar for the soaking tub. The steps are removable for cleaning and to lessen the occurrence of trapped moisture. The shelves are also custom cedar with a "fish scale" tile backing.
