THE RITUAL BATH

A Lakeway primary bath built for daily contrast therapy: cold plunge, integrated sauna, and a waterfall shower system.

THE VISION
The homeowner treats wellness as a discipline, and alternating heat and cold is part of his every day. The brief was a primary bath that could hold that ritual with the composure of a private retreat.

THE DESIGN

Demolition as Editing
The bathtub and second vanity gave way to a cold plunge and an integrated sauna, so heat and cold read as one sequence.

One Continuous Surface
Large-format tile runs across the floors and walls, with a digital waterfall shower set into it and organic veining on the niche, bench, and countertop.

Light, Warmth, and Atmosphere
A lit mirrored cabinet, architectural sconces, a towel warmer beside the plunge, and digital shades set the mood at a touch.

SIGNATURE DETAILS & MATERIAL PALETTE
– Cold plunge and integrated sauna, side by side
– Lava stone sink with an open stream faucet
– Oversized mirrored cabinet with integrated lighting
– Large-format tile across floors and walls, with hardware and glass as the only crisp notes

Sourcing details and specifications are shared with studio clients.
