MONTGOLFIADES DE DOLE

In the future, we want things to transform; for example, a cell phone changes into an uber fast jet in no time…….okay that’s a bit ambitious. But the following bathroom, can be transformed from a gym, to a super sexy bathroom. The Roca Active and Relax Bathroom does just that. The jacuzzi tub is hidden while you work your muscles. Once you’re done, just open the floorboards to reveal the sexy, stylish tub in which you can relax after your active workout. And that might look like a beautiful scenery out the window, those are actually floor to ceiling LCD’s giving you the illusion of a scenery.
