The sleek hand shower with thermostatic control valve guarantees an effective cleanse from any angle, while the massive multi-setting rain showerhead promises a natural spa-like retreat. A recessed niche makes for convenient shelving and a custom bench provides a place to sit or rest when needed. Photography by Anice Hoachlander

Cool blueish glass tiles reflect the cleansing light inside the shower as water falls from the rain-head faucet, contrasting with the warmer wood hues of the adjacent tub face.

Thanks to a linear drain, the dramatic corner shower requires no threshold for effortless entry. The rain shower head promises a soothing cleanse, while the separate hand shower allows comfortable reach from any angle. The soaking tub sits to the right, its dual-purpose quartz bench extending into the adjacent shower as a convenient resting place. Photography by Anice Hoachlander

Creating this large corner shower with bench was one of our client's primary objectives. The shower features Perfect Pebble river stone floor, a granite topped bench, as well as a recessed niche for storing shampoo and cleansing bottles. This gorgeous shower also boasts a rain shower head installed in the ceiling, as well as a handheld shower head, and strategically placed grab bars. The doorway to the bathroom is extra wide and features a pocket door with frosted glass panel which grants privacy while still allowing light into the adjoining master bedroom.

A REFUGE FOR THE SOUL. | Elemental Spa makes water the focus of attention. The different fittings have the look of springs. They mark the water points in the room and are the origin of the architecture that surrounds them. Elemental Spa creates a place for the personal and shared rituals of physical and spiritual cleansing. A refuge for the soul. Each of the six products in Elemental Spa has an individual name. The greatest care was taken to ensure that the sound and appeal of the names reflect both the archaic and ritual character of Elemental Spa. The ITA and IAM fittings are for the washbasin. KATA and NOTA are bath fittings for wall or free-standing installation. For the shower, there is SATI for ceiling installation and SANGHA for wall installation. | Available at www.shopstudio41.com
