What makes a good bathroom? - a photo on Flickriver

            There is nothing that commands more attention in a bathroom more then a gorgeously placed tub. A freestanding bathtub is like a sculpture and makes the room seem larger, opening up the floor space behind the tub. 

This bathroom - ILBAGNOALESSI dOt - designed by Wiel Arets is an important part of the BSSR House, comfort is here synonymous with a state of total clarity where the eye, the mind and the physical body are at ease, where nothing jars or distracts. 

The only universal measure is whether the space feels comfortable and right to the people who use it. Minimalism - or, as the sculptor Donald Judd preferred to put it, the simple expression of complex thought - is only one valid response of an aesthetically diverse society, answering the needs of particular individuals and provoking debate in society at large about how we choose to live and how we expect architecture to support these choices.

Minimalism is not an architecture of self-denial, deprivation or absence: it is defined not by what is not there, but by the rightness of what is there and by the richness with which this is experienced.

Profound - and pleasurable - experience is located in ordinary experience, like taking a bath.
