[Karen Margrave]

For all of you building higher end, freestanding or built in tubs? @Will Barnard @John Blackman @Lynn Currie @Jon Klaus  @J. Scott (my @ mention never works for J) 

 others - PLEASE WEIGH IN.

Freestanding is the "in thing" right now and most designers, particularly in the modern and contemporary market, will tell you this. Regarding Jon's photo, the only negative thing buyers could say is regarding the difficulty getting in the void areas on each side to clean. AND that is the ONLY negative on that one!

Here is a stand alone I did in my CA ranch style $4M value estate: The old version was fully enclosed and my designer demanded to go this route, note the separate and large shower with bench seating, rain heads and wall jets.

Here is a rendering of my Beverly Hills master bath I am doing right now. Similar to Jon's, the shower is open to the tub so the tub and shower are behind the sliding glass doors enclosure and the tub is stand alone. The best part of doing this is that you can get the wall mounted plumbing fixtures which are all the modern rage today.
