"When architects Todd Pritchett and Craig Dixon redesigned the master bath in their country house, they created a space that was much more than simply a place to shave and shower. By removing walls to quadruple the bath&amp;#039;s size and coordinating its floor plan with the adjoining bedroom and sitting room/sunroom, the duo, partners of Atlanta-based Todd Pritchett Design Studio, built a private place that actually functions in tandem with the adjoining spaces as an all-around lounge/living room/dressing room.  The 300-square-foot bath area, which includes an air-jet tub, a pair of vanities, a double-size glass-enclosed shower, and a walk-in closet and storage closet, maintains the character of their 1916 European-style Atlanta home while at the same time keeping it up to date with contemporary touches. &amp;quot;It has simple, clean lines yet is rich and well detailed,&amp;quot; says Pritchett. &amp;quot;And we made it cozy by adding stained-wood beams and a painted-wood ceiling.&amp;quot;   Custom cabinetry containing lots of drawers reduces clutter, as do the wall-mounted faucets. &amp;quot;Everything looks clean\u2014until you open things and see the mess,&amp;quot; Dixon says.  The floor plan of the bath is open, but Pritchett and Dixon carved out separate, yet equal, spaces for themselves. Pritchett&amp;#039;s vanity overlooks the sunroom and bedroom, while Dixon&amp;#039;s is tucked neatly next to the shower. &amp;quot;This way, we are together, but we aren&amp;#039;t intruding on each other,&amp;quot; Dixon says.  The bath is the perfect complement to the bedroom, which is defined by a vaulted ceiling and fireplace, and the sunroom, which is well-stocked with travel books and maps. &amp;quot;We can hang out, have a bath, look at the trees and plan our next trip,&amp;quot; says Pritchett. &amp;quot;The mirror over my vanity twists, so I get a full view of the trees.&amp;quot; Adds Dixon, &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s also great to sit in the tub and read the paper.&amp;quot;  Convenience, too, was given priority. A floor-to-ceiling cabinet with open shelves was placed next to the shower so they can grab towels for drying off, and Pritchett&amp;#039;s swivel vanity mirror has storage compartments for toiletries on its back.  Although the bathroom was planned around existing double-hung windows to retain architectural integrity, the shower&amp;#039;s window, which is on the back of the house, was replaced by a smaller awning-style one that can be kept open even in the rain.  The two-story, two-family house has 3,000 feet on each level, but Pritchett and Dixon say they would be content to call their master suite home sweet home. &amp;quot;We could do it if only we had a little kitchen,&amp;quot; Pritchett says.
