7 More Bathtubs with Stunning Views

This isn’t the first time we’ve spotlighted bathtubs with breathtaking views and it probably won’t be the last. When a bathroom is able to accommodate floor-to-ceiling windows and still maintain a sense of privacy, magic happens—as demonstrated by these seven examples from the WL archives.

High and Mighty

When we first featured this Andrea Rodman-designed bathroom in 2017, we couldn’t stop obsessing over the integrated lighting—boxes at either end of the medicine cabinets have doors with cut-outs of light diffusing glass. But today, our focus is entirely on the tub. The Aquabrass Caicos bath is on an elevated platform so the homeowners can gaze out the windows. Get more bathroom design tips.

Sky’s the Limit

Architect Laura Killam wanted to make this bathroom feel like an extension of the surrounding landscape, so she incorporated full-height sliding doors and positioned a skylight directly above the freestanding Duravit Cod bathtub. Can you imagine what it’s like to stargaze from here? Learn more about this outdoor-inspired retreat or check out the rest of this off-grid cabin.

All Decked Out

While several other rooms in this West Vancouver home were equipped with folding NanaWalls for entertaining purposes, the one in the primary ensuite lends a touch of private luxury. “The homeowners can have a bath directly on the deck, on the edge of the ocean,” says designer Karly MacLeod. “Does it get any more blissful than that?” Peek inside this Hamptons-inspired beach house.

Sea for Yourself

The owners of this Bowen Island home wanted to be able to see the water from every bedroom and bathroom—and the team at STARK Architecture & Interiors delivered. The lower volume is pinned into the bedrock and cantilevered 23 feet out to provide unobstructed views of the ocean. The frameless windows help, too. Explore this cliffside family abode.

Weather or Not

This might just be our favourite bathtub of the bunch. This BattersbyHowatt-designed Squamish home boasts a truly spectacular (and dynamic!) panorama of the iconic Stawamus Chief. “The view is ever-changing with the seasons and weather systems,” says the homeowner. “We feel deeply tuned into the cycles of nature.” See the rest of this mountain sanctuary.

Window of Opportunity

Wall-to-wall windows may not seem like the wisest choice for a bathroom, but Reisa Pollard didn’t think twice about it when designing this Langley farmhouse. “Often, spaces with incredible views still need window coverings because of the privacy element, but in this case we opted not to use any window coverings at all. The only people looking in are going to be the horses,” she says with a laugh. Find out how to get this look at home.

That’s for Shore!

It’s hard to tell from the angle of the above picture, but this primary bedroom and ensuite looks out over the tranquil shores of Culture Lake. The owners wanted Steven Cross of X Architecture to design a summer house where they could unwind—and take in uninterrupted views of the water. Mission accomplished! Tour this coastal modern home.
