Brief description of The Bath Room - Thesis undertaken as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Design, Massey University, Wellington, New Zealand, 2012. 

The contemporary domestic bathroom is a place where function and ritual coincide with the body and mass-produced industrial products, but, what about the body as a whole? The bathroom has become a place to perform certain rituals rather than a room to occupy one's rituals. My personal experiences of the standardized domestic bathroom become the motivation to test the boundaries, forms, aesthetics and function of what is commonly understood to be a bathroom. This design-led research project addressed the redesign of a standardized domestic bathroom where I used my own body and domestic rituals to investigate the potential for a bathroom design that is tailor-fit to its user.

The Bathroom - Hand-drawing

Hand-drawing/rendering became an important part in my search for a bathroom tailor-fit to it's user. What is more personal than hand-drawing the bathroom you have created with your own body?
