Residential

A Japanese bath means
Deep Immersion.

More enveloping, upright immersion — real water depth, not a longer soak in a shallow tub.

Deep-soak baths designed around the person. Made in Melbourne, with the support behind it.

AQVA — Australian specialist in deep-soak bathing. Made in Melbourne since 1994.
01Choose your bath

Three baths. One clear choice.

Compact and solo, roomier and solo, or shared for two. Insert or freestanding, bath or spa, depending on what's currently buildable for each model.

02Deep Soaking

A deeper way to bathe.

Deep soaking puts immersion at the centre of the experience.

Instead of stretching out across the bath, the experience becomes more upright, more enclosed, more in the water. It changes the relationship between the body and the water.

Inspired by Japanese deep-soak bathing traditions.

03Comfort

Deep comfort starts with the body.

How you sit. The water around you. The edge under your hands.

Waterline

Warm water around you, and the stillness that comes with it.

Hands resting, forearms warm, the edge of the bath under the skin.

04The room

Make the bath work with the room.

The experience begins with the bath, but the bath still belongs to the room.

Once you know how you want to bathe, the next question is how that experience fits into the space around it. Proportions considered. Bath and room resolved together, so that deep bathing never makes the rest of the room feel secondary.
