Our client’s modest, three-bedroom house occupies a beautiful, small site having views down the length of Lake Oswego. The design responded to their appreciation of Hawaiian Island/Pacific Rim architecture and to the strict limitation to construction imposed by local zoning. We worked with Forsgren Design Studio on the selection of materials and finishes. Michael Mathers Photography

Asian-Inspired Primary Bathroom Remodel in Birmingham, MI

MainStreet Design Build

A revised window layout allowed us to create a separate toilet room and a large wet room, incorporating a 5′ x 5′ shower area with a built-in undermount air tub. The shower has every feature the homeowners wanted, including a large rain head, separate shower head and handheld for specific temperatures and multiple users. In lieu of a free-standing tub, the undermount installation created a clean built-in feel and gave the opportunity for extra features like the air bubble option and two custom niches.

True Ofuro Duo Wooden Freestanding Japanese Soaking Bathtub

Aquatica Plumbing Group

There is nothing else quite like our True Ofuro Duo. This unique, modern take on the traditional Japanese-style bathtub is made for seated soaking of two bathers. So the design incorporates two built-in seats and the depth of the tub has been extended to 27.75” (70.5 cm) to ensure full body immersion for even 6ft (180 cm) plus bathers. The interior ergonomics of this bathtub is all directed to providing effortless comfort and support.
