Through the design of the bathroom, the designer intends to convey the concept of timelessness by ensuring that users of any ages can enjoy using the space without obstruction of physical limitation. Home should be a sanctuary where people can feel secure, unrestricted, and completely at ease. Users can have a timeless interval in the bathroom. The design emphasizes simplicity, comfort, functionality, and sustainability to present timelessness and get equipped for a changing lifestyle in the future.

Frosted glass partitions and doors divide the bathroom into three areas to enable for the simultaneous and independent usage while guaranteeing privacy in order to address the issue of family members scrambling for bathroom access during the busiest time, usually in the morning before they start the day. 4 people can access the 6.9 sqm bathroom at once without feeling crowded.
How does the design fulfill the design challenge?
The bathroom design is relatively minimal to declutter the space in order to create a feeling of spaciousness and ease the cleaning work. Instead of surrounded by walls in the bathroom, large window introduce views and daylight to provide moments of serenity and relaxation. There are 2 ways of using the bathroom which are the “simultaneous and independent usage” and “me-time usage”. The “simultaneous and independent usage” is an ideal solution for small space housing to avoid conflicts, being efficient and save times during the busiest time as well as synchronizing the routine of family. However, “me –time usage” allows individuals to wind down and enjoy using the bathroom alone in a completely relaxation after a long day
