A Bathtub Filled with Light

Just what the doctor ordered for all your disco-bathing needs!

By Ken Gutmaker

In the renovation of a San Francisco Victorian home, this simply elegant bathtub is perfectly located. Allowing the tub to have its own separate area creates a special retreat. Metallic deco-inspired wallpaper and a disco ball for a light fixture keep the space playful and informal.

Having the opportunity to shoot designs like this is a big part of what makes being an architectural photographer rewarding.

This is one of a series of four photos from this house:
