Architectural and design trends 2015- 2016

Recent years have seen an integration of external space with internal space, especially here in South Africa with our fantastic climate says Dave Nemeth. Continuing in this direction, the bathroom will become a far more important space and in many cases, where possibly even open up onto private areas of the garden. Outdoor showers have already gained popularity and we will now see indoor baths and showers with large windows and doors that almost open up completely to the outside elements. In a similar fashion, bedrooms will have more open plan bathrooms where the bath or shower is an actual feature rather than a purely functional element that needs to be hidden away. The bedroom / bathroom becomes an integrated area with the focus on relaxation and well being, almost like a health spa. Check out the website for more great ideas.
