Bedroom & en-suite bathroom, Tübingen

Three small washrooms become one spacious, accessible bathroom.

Finished bathroom with a freestanding bathtub, white relief tiles and plants

  1. Starting point

    A 1970s bungalow in Tübingen: shower, WC and bathtub were in three separate rooms.

  2. Demolition

    The three rooms were to become one generous en-suite bathroom with direct access to the bedroom and a new walk-in wardrobe. Walls had to go – the demolition work was fully coordinated.

    Demolition work: rubble on the floor, exposed pipes and a skylight

  3. New layout

    A continuous wall to the corridor, an opening to the bedroom and a new partition between shower and bathtub.

    Shell construction: new partition wall of blocks, underfloor heating mats on the floor

  4. Light

    The partition sits right in the middle under the skylight, so the whole room is evenly lit.

  5. Result

    The focus: accessibility, climate control and the skylight. Warm earth tones, softened white, special textures and beautiful fittings create a pleasant atmosphere.
