This central bathroom has three different windows looking out into the living room, dining area and bedroom. "You can be in the bath having a conversation with somebody sitting on the sofa, for example."
Better still, you can invite everyone to join in. The bath, measuring a meter by almost two meters, was inspired by Japanese communal bathing, and with its efficient water-reheating and -recycling system, always stays the same temperature. "You can keep it going for a couple of days," says Micah.
