Way back in the early days of the building of the Roundhouse we made a pedestal in the principle bedroom that would eventually support a hand-made bathtub. With the bathrooms well on their way to being completed we turned our attention to the design of the bathtub.
We decided on a half an egg shape, simple and elegant, black in colour and made of our favourite material - concrete.

| A mould was made from exactly the same ingredients used to make an adobe brick - mud, straw and water. |
 |
| The mold was then covered in plaster before being given a coat of resin to create a smooth surface. |
 |
| A wire cage was made to reinforce the bathtub. |
 |
| A black cement mix was layered onto the the mould. |
