Bathroom for House Beautiful magazine - Alan Buchsbaum (1971)
“Buchsbaum’s objective, for a House Beautiful story, was to rethink the traditional bathroom. In so doing, he not only found space for additional fixtures but also intimated new ways for the body to be in the bathroom.
In separating a grooming anteroom from the rest of the bathroom, Buchsbaum created a much-appreciated dry space for make-up and mirrors. In the “wet” room, he exploded the normally rectilinear composition of fixtures by projecting the toilet, bidet, and tub off the plumbing core at varying angles. In contrast, a circular sink floats independently, and the shower platform, accessed by a short stair, efficiently took up the residual space behind the tub. Buchsbaum used a bold and vibrant palette of primary yellow, bright red, and lime green in the super-graphics style to reinforce his design of the new bathroom.”
