Don't Build A House Without Bathtubs
Triston Huntsmin
As an architect, of course I have strong feelings about
elements that should never be left out of any home building
project. For example, I believe that no home should be built
without bathtubs.
I know, bathtubs sounds like a strange thing to be so concerned
about, but it is true. I always advise my clients, regardless of
their age or the kind of home they are building, to not even
consider building a home without bathtubs. When they ask me why
I can usually give a pretty strong defense of bathtubs.
Bathtubs do something for a bathroom and for a home that
ordinary showers without bathtubs cannot do. Bathtubs give the
people of a home the ability to have a quiet place of refuge to
relax and unwind at the end of a hard day or week. Think about
how great it feels to take a hot shower at the end of a long
and cold day. Now think about how much nicer it would be to
soak in a hot bathtub for thirty minutes instead. Sounds nice
right?
I'm convinced about bathtubs in every home because I am
convinced that we are far too busy and far too stressed out as
a society. I am convinced that we could all, men, women and
children alike, use a little bit of space and quiet away from
the rest of the world.
I'll admit that I hadn't utilized the pleasures of bathtubs
until just a few years ago when my family and I moved into a
new house and my wife insisted upon bathtubs in every room of
the house for our kids. I agreed during the building process
and within weeks after moving in I was trying out the bathtubs
for myself and realizing how truly amazing they were. In all my
years of living I had yet to find something as relaxing and
truly peaceful as spending time in water filled bathtubs.
So if you are thinking about building a home or just of buying
an already built home, do so with caution. Do not let yourself
buy or build a home without bathtubs. You have no idea what
you're missing if you don't have them. I guarentee you,
bathtubs are a necessary element for every house. They add a
special space for people to get away, relax and unwind. So
don't even think about owning a home without one or more
bathtubs.
