It was built as a garden bathroom retreat by well-known TV presenter and Chelsea garden designer James Wong with David Cubero. The garden bathroom was actually created for the Hampton Court Flower Show in 2008 and was called the Burgbad Sanctuary Garden.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The bathroom is enclosed in a purpose built glazed garden room and planted with exotic plants. It is also surrounded by beautiful planting, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livinghouse.co.uk\/acatalog\/garden-paving.html\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"blank\">paved<\/a> and decked paths and water features.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So you aren&#8217;t exposed to the elements but the glazed walls make you feel as though you are bathing amongst the plants outside.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4057\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4057\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-4057\" src=\"https:\/\/www.livinghouse.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/outdoor-bathroom-1.jpg\" alt=\"Outdoor Bathroom\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.livinghouse.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/outdoor-bathroom-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.livinghouse.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/outdoor-bathroom-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.livinghouse.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/outdoor-bathroom-1-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4057\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Art and Landscape Design<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We suspect the glazed enclosure can also be suitably heated to make this garden oasis a comfortable space in which to bathe.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Of course most of us don\u2019t have the space to add a bathroom at the bottom of the garden and quite possibly wouldn\u2019t want to.
