laura is the only one who considered that I may own a single bath product or even a toothbrush
Right the , 6 in one shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste, dish soup, and tile clear. 😌👌🏿
Nah Lula was the only one on spot
@@thegooddinggleberry hey now, I think you left out laundry detergent too lol
LOL
isn't the whole point that they're not really thinking with clients in mind? just being able to be as creative as possible?
I really love how Lulu is taking the "free reign" and "no restrictions" notion to the extreme and I absolutely adore that.
what if its not raining and 'lula' needs to take a bath??
I really like the staging of the circular bathtub, the drama, and surprise of it, but walking on steps to enter and leaving the tub, with wet feet no less, is a no go. I would value a huge overhead shower but natural rain for showering though a beautiful concept, due to pollutants, is filthy.
YES
she is so free, she doesnt consider the people who is going to use it.
I strongly dislike Lula’s design. Putting steps right outside of a tub? how does that make any sense for slippery feet? And what happened to the shower? Don’t most people take showers? The thought of collecting water and condensation and having it come down the walls is gross. Mildew anyone? I honestly don’t like anything about her design but I do appreciate that she is trying to be creative. Total fail in this particular case.
I think Laura did the best job of making this huge, lifeless, room into an inviting one. I find that with a room that large, marble just reinforces the dullness of the space. Maybe for a hotel, but for a home, Laura takes the cake IMHO.
Lula was the only one on spot
I feel like Laura didnt change much from the original except the colours and the positions. Kinda still feels like an empty space with everything to the side
I love all three designs, but why did everyone remove the toilets?
I was searching the comment section for a comment like that! Thank you. Good to know I am not the only one who thought about that. Except the male designer kept it cause he did not change that corner at all. (For All wondering: it's a bit tricky to see but in the floorplan is the toilet as a small cabin next to the shower.)
shitting is for poor people
It's weird cause that might be the most important part of the bathroom
Thats what happens when you focus on "wow" and not the basics..
cause its lux im assuming they are assuming there is the area behind the camera that would house the toilet (usually not an attractive this to show)
@@marcobozidar might be in a separate room next to the bathroom
LULA is crazy, she is making me squeal and so excited. Everything is so meticulous and intentional and calculated and inspired WOW
The layout and functionality is completely stupid though, it's all style no substance.
@@Starblockss, they’re allowed to do whatever they wanted.
Love her design but too expensive for me. I go for Laura
@@Starblockss it's the definition of luxury. So.. yes.
@@Starblockss Yes but the goal is "no restrictions, no client" so she took that to the extreme...Darren also had crazy designs! I love how they have fun with their designs when they have nothing to stop them!! That's how artists work
I love the whimsy of Lula's designs but as a designer we have to keep in mind cleanability and she almost never does. That ceiling would be a nightmare for the average homeowner or hotel cleaning crew. Steam + dust don't play nice with crevices like that.
Exactly what I was thinking! I immediately thought about mould! Not everyone lives in a hot dry climate… and the design and the colour means it would never look clean 😣
@@EH23831 Except it she didn't design it as a one-size-fits-all, or for everybody. She set it in a hot & dry climate.
@@rebecca-2778 I know it was a conceptual thing… I still can’t help being practical
@@rebecca-2778 but the bathroom is not hot and dry. It’s a wet room.
@@rebecca-2778 how dry? like super dry? I'm asking because I can use this huge amazing bathtub only and only if it rains hot steamy water. all other days I can probably keep my veggies there? hide from annoying kids?
laura takes the cake. she remembers that bathrooms have to be PRACTICAL not just pretty. lula's doesn't even have any storage or an actual shower! her's would make sense in a luxury resort on the beach but definitely not a bathroom id ever have in my house. and alvin's just feels too cold and common; like i've seen that bathroom in every fancy modern high rise.
exactly. that is what I always come back to with these videos. I want a homey, practical space.
well the brief was no clients, completely free reign
Well, they can do whatever they want!! The goal for any designer (fashion designer, interior designers, product designers, web designers, etc...) when they are given free reign and no restrictions is to have FUN. It's how we see the artists in them.
Casually forgetting the rain shower in the ceiling light
I know it isn't practical but I love the design and aesthetic of it
i would like this series to expand and make these three designers do three different designs each; Low budget, medium budget and THE SKY IS THE LIMIT budget and then compare the designs of each category!
That's an excellent idea!
Great idea!
Lula’s designs are so dreamy and otherworldly and my personality is totally inclined to that. But if there’s anything I’ve learned as an adult, it’s that practicality and efficiency are what elevates a beautiful design into something truly great, and thus I keep finding myself gravitating towards Laura’s designs!
i loved laura and lulas vibe, i feel like they could make a sustainable house together and it would be gorgeous
Agree with Lula's creative vision and Laura's good eye in practically they might create the ideal modern home
These kinds of luxury mansions are the litteral opposite of sustainable. I love Lula's idea of a hole in the ceiling, but unless this house is located in a tropical climate, that is gonna lose SO MUCH heat.
I AM SO IN LOVE WITH LULA 😍😍 She is so creative, I love what she did with the ceiling and making the focal point of the bathroom the circular shower, I swap the outdoor rain vibe for a rain shower head, Overall the did something timeless and lustrous. As an architect and interior designer based in Lagos, Nigeria. I know lots of clients who would love Lula's design. Thanks AD.
I would say Laura's design is something I would have in my home, Lula's would be great for a spa experience (too extravagant for my everyday life) and Alvin's I would have liked a lighter warm beige for the ceiling but it is my bottom pick because I don't love marble that much (Lula's was a lighter marble and her design had furniture that complemented the space better)
Exactly my thinking ✋️😄
Lula’s made no sense. She didn’t put any kind of faucet near the tub, so you can’t take a bath unless it’s raining outside. She removed the windows which is unrealistic, she didn’t even add a Shower, there’s a huge hole in the ceiling, so this bathroom can’t be downstairs or in any kind of apartment, and if it’s in a one story house, if it starts snowing then good luck. You hear everything from outside, no temperature control, literally anyone could climb your roof and be inside your house, you have to get the window into door transformation approved by the city, etc.
Her design was very unrealistic, but at least she may have had fun.
@@David.124 That's why I said spa, it would never work for an apartment :)
I love Lula's bathroom design!
Functionally completely awful, fun to look at though.
Really now 🤣🤣🤣
Lula’s elements are so unique and sophisticatedly beautiful. Her designs just make you go like, Wow!
I absolutely love all of Laura’s designs for how realistic and achievable they are
*Laura* : This is what I would want in my dream house… Cozy, sustainable and practical.
*Lula* : When you look at Lula's design, it just exhibits luxury and uniqueness - All that I would want in let’s say a private resort or a 5 star hotel.
*Alvin* : Sadly my least favorite out of the trio for a few reasons, the color choices combined with the emptiness in the middle makes it feel uncomfortable for me personally. It was still a great design but compared to the other two it stands no chance. Great vision, not so great execution.
This is my favorite series on UA-cam. This series has truly inspired me to start designing. Keep up the great work for all 3 designers ❤️
your channel looks great :)
Its so interesting how they all took the bathrooms to completely different places. 1 is in the city, beach and a retreat.
Yeah😁🤩🤤 BEAUTIFUL
Lula is what I would do if I was mega rich - Laura is what I would do right now
This has quickly become one of my favorite series!
Though marble is a beautiful material I think it's overused "to convey luxury" and find it sometimes very tacky.
Veryyyyy overused
I'd also be terrified of slipping on it, which is a recipe for disaster in a bathroom.
Imo Lula really just went for it! She had the opportunity to design the bathroom for her dreams and she gave EVERYTHING! Laura was very conscious of how a space is used in everyday life, which I appreciate, but her room really felt a bit jumbled together. Maybe that makes it feel more attainable and cozy for some people, but yeah... If I could choose, I would choose Lula's. In the hope that there's some hidden drawers etc. I really love the warmth Alvin used in his room, but it felt too empty to me. I respect him wanting to leave space for a potential owner, but this is a fantasy bathroom that he has to like! He could have added an ottoman or something he thinks is beautiful! I felt like Alvin could have been a bit more courageous! I would love to see him use his full fantasy! I can see the potential, he chose the most beautiful marble and colours imo.
All three designs were gorgeous. Lula's is the ultra mega baller one though, not sure I would want that for an everyday bathroom but for a vacation house blow people's socks off one, that's the one.
Lulas bathroom is perfect! I'm in love with it. What a magical experince it would be to use it. Love she based it on historical roman baths too. Perfect and well thought off.
Not so magical to try and clean it! The design and the colour mean it would be a nightmare to keep looking clean (think mould!)
@@EH23831 with a team of maids, nothing is imposing. How else do you think they keep skyscrapers 10's of floors high clean, inside and out? You're understemating people's ability to problem solve and get things get done. 😅
A team of maids... ok Nero
@@BaDazai oooh… that’s what I’m doing wrong- I don’t have a team of maids!
@@EH23831 let alone afford a bathroom like this. Though, there's nothing wrong with sticking to standard bathrooms and living within your means though. Luxury comes in small packages too 🤗
LOVE Laura's design! So earthy and cozy.
Lula Galeano is the obvious WINNER! Woop woop! Absolutely lover her idea and concept! CONGRATS!
Is she? It's a cool concept but how the hell would a bathroom like that work in real life? No cabinets, no curtains or blinds to cover the giant glass door, no plumbing attached to the tub. Like, the only option I have is to bathe in cold rain water? And if it doesn't rain I guess I'll have to wash myself off in the sink like a homeless person.
Ive never understood designers who incorporate steps in bathrooms like Lula. It’s a great way for humans to fall. Love Laura’s design aesthetic and practicality.
I love these. I love meeting the designers and hearing about their thought process and why they pick certain materials....... but I do need a toilet in my bathroom :)
🤣🤣🤣🤣After I read your comment, I realised that none of them had a toilet within the space 🤔. But having said that, I would go for Laura's design and have a separate toilet, just to keep the bathroom clear and hygienic 👍🏾🇬🇧💙
I mean its a luxury bathroom so you probably will have a seperate water closet
This series is soo spectacular. I absolutely love it. Lula's design is HEAVENLY! I gasped, screamed & even shed a tear. Mind blowingly gorgeous 😍
absolutely love the roman bath inspired one, so beautiful, calming and luxurious
All 3 were gorgeous. Lula and Alvin's designs' were beautiful but cold/HARD. They needed some softness like a luxurious rug, or a chaise in a nubby fabric.
Agree. But to be fair to Alvin, he did suggest the owner could bring in any element of softness, such as a chaise, as they so choose. Maybe an actual visual would have clarified that for him, instead of just a verbal suggestion.
All the bathrooms were beautiful, but I think there should be some common sense limitations to this execercise, like keeping the space within the same context. Moving the environment felt like a cheat code.
I totally agree, its too easy for them. Not at all realistic. Alvin is the only designer that left the water closet, the other 2 have no toilet.
Somehow they all changed the exterior scenery too
I like that Lula made the tub the focal point (i.e putting it in the middle of the room) but I don't think the rainwater from the ceiling fixture is practical. It would work better as a skylight.
I like that Laura remembered the importance of storage. I also liked her shower design.
LOVING Laura's design. I would never leave the bathroom 🤣🤣🤣
Same! I thought her design was the most practical, as well as beautiful. And I love that she brought in plants that greatly improve aesthetics, softening the room, making it more inviting and relaxing.
All need more storage- beautiful
Am studying Interior and definitely wanna infuse Laura & Lula's designs. I loved theirs
Lauras has to be my favourite, not only is it warm and inviting, its also practical, maybe a little basic but overall very nice . Lulas was gorgeous and I can imagine being absolutely wowed upon entering the space but I think there were a few questionable decisions. The tub looks dangerous, and am i only supposed to take a bath when it rains? also with a hole in the ceiling I feel like it would become kind of gross and those grooves in the ceiling would pick up mold overtime. Alvins I found really lacking overall. The colors didn't work for me, and the overuse of marble came off as a little tacky.
Lula's bath would go well in a resort with her "Sky bedroom" design; they fit well together. I like that Laura has the option of covering the windows. In this age of superzoom lenses, being high up might not mean anything if another tall building is in view, like the one in Alvin's rendering.
Lula put my dream bathtub in..! Not the colour palette, but that tub with that rain shower is *chef’s kiss*
I loved Lula’a tub but the steps around a tub (water) is a no lol 😂.
Laura's bathroom is sooo calming, I'd def see that happening. It's so grounded.
This is like the 3rd of this that i've seen these 3 amazing designers in but Laura's design decisions speak to me the most, consistently. You want to experience and enjoy the space but at the same remember your human realities and have a touch of practicality. Makes the space realistically livable without compromising on the design. ❤️
Lula Galeano I love your design! So inspiring!
I like how warm Laura’s bathroom is. It looks relaxing without all the stones and marbles, it’s a little too spacious for some reason but open space is definitely relaxing. I’d add Lula’s door to Laura’s design and have that outside access. How beautiful would it be walk out to the garden after a bath. Her rain shower Roman tub is very unique and seemed relaxing for a warm climate home. But the elevated tub with a few steps somehow make it feel not very safe for me. I’d like the tub sink in lower and I think that’ll highlight the window/door even more. It would be so awesome if the door is also round like her bedroom design from the other episode. I’m not loving Alvin’s design. It seems rich and boring. Luxurious, yes but I find none of it interesting.
If I had a bathroom that large, I'd definitely want it luxurious. So I'm going with Lula
I really love this series. I also like that you changed up the designers so we can see different aesthetics.
Lula's design is one of the best single challenge I've seen in AD so far. Well done. Brilliant.
Laura is the mother we all love and need.
Alvin is the extravagant gay uncle who we occasionally meet.
Lula is the older sister with whom we try to compete but will never outshine because she’s this genius being.
Lula’s design is spectacular. Very impressive!
Wow, no one thought about towels, or all the toiletries we all keep in a bathroom! It has to be a functional space! If you take a bath or shower where do you put your robe/clothes on the floor? These 3 should remember time is a luxury, making the space fit for purpose is essential.
Laura with no hesitation. Serene, practical, humble, yet classy
loved the way Lula's design was catered to the whole room getting wet - even the ceiling.
Lula's is HEAVENLY but impractical and Laura's is boring but practical. Would love to see how Lula would make hers a bit more everyday appropriate with storage and a shower
I wouldn’t call Laura’s bathroom “boring”. It’s warm, utilizes earthy textures and that shower is so cool!
Lula Galeano - Best design by far.
Okayyyy Lulu! That door and tub are so bomb. Great job Laura, looks so serene.
I love Laura European style and ideas applied in this bathroom. How beautiful the bathtub and rain shower idea is and having access to an outdoor space is genius 🤩🤩🤩
All butrooms is beautiful, but more I like a Lula's solution. It's brilliantly, creative and unexpected.
I love Laura’s design simple and calming it Looks neat and organized. Lula is the least for me because the steps on the tub is not safe specially when we get off the tub wet.
I really love Lulu's concept because it is really free and imaginative but she still bases her ideas in some functionality and culture by brining in the roman baths concepts. Bathing in her design almost feels ceremonial and special!
I like Alvin’s the best, especially that he put it in NYC and that he left the windows unadorned. His is the most elegant and luxurious.
Lula's design is my favorite! But realistically Laura would be my choice for my home.
I love the practicality of Laura's design and Lula's creativity
Lula'a design is a clear win for me. Italians are so sophisticated in their creativity.
Lula is such a creative master. WOW! These are the type of minds i'd love to work with.
I feel Lula's "shower head + skylight" could be designed to use either/both heated rainwater and a series of shower faucets to simulate rainwater... and still look the exact same.
They were all absolutely beautiful! Good job, guys. For me personally, I resonate the most with Laura's bathroom design. I would truly feel relaxed there.
I think Lulas was the most thought through and most beautiful!
I think that Laura had the most thought through design because she included the storage space and blinds and made it very functional, Lulas pretentious rainfall stuff was funny cause at the end you can see that she was not actually thinking of reusing water, she just wanted the shock value and to be different...
And those marble stairs are a safety hazard so not very though through
I truly love them all ! If I only had 1 bathroom and I HAD to chose I would pick Lula's roman bathhouse.
LULA'S DESIGN!!???? OMGGG IN LOVEEE
This is my favourite series so far 🥺 Thank you Architectural Digest! Never stop making these!
Lula is AMAZING! Im in shock, the conceptual creativity with the roman bath idea, I mean soooo different just breath taking
I am in love with Lula's design. It's so next level and mind bending!
I like Laura's. It's warm, cozy, and relaxing. Just what you want when you take a shower or bath.
I love All!
Laura’s - cozy & homey
Lula’s - luxurious
Alvin’s - luxurious glamor
Hands down Lula's design is my favorite. If money were no object that I'd absolutely hire her on the spot - LOVE!
Lula Galeanos solution is genius - thinking out of the box! Never saw such an bathroom
Lula
pros: I absolutely love how Lula always goes out of the box and tries to change the whole layout of the space while incorporating earthy yet modern designs and shapes into the design
Cons: I think her designs are a bit impractical like the whole rain shower head is a bit of a turnoff although it looks pretty sophisticated
Laura
Pros: Laura's design is the most practical and sustainable one with elements like storage pieces and natural warm tones around the bathroom.
Cons: I didn't like the fact that she refused to change the floors which was a major part of the whole design and it gave me a feeling that the design is incomplete. It was also a rather ordinary design and I couldn't find anything distinct or unique about it.
Alvin
Pros: I found alwin's design as the most inviting one as it was the only bathroom I could imagine myself taking the best shower in out of the three designs. I absolutely loved the marble flooring and the vanity and how contemporary he made the whole look
Cons: I feel that he could've changed the layout of the bathroom which would have opened more design opportunities. He limited his design to the existing layout which for me felt like just furnishing the space and not re-designing it.
@@annesmith6582 yes totally agreed, but since the design sphere here gives u all the liberty to do whatever you want, it isn't appreciated to limit the design to anything except for the limits of one's imagination. Thanks for the perspective!
Wait.. Do you have to wait for it to rain to take a bath?! 🤣
Respect to Lula because she really does think out of the box in a beautiful way.
Lula's vision and choices are so tastefully imaginative...just love her designs. I also appreciate Laura's sense for natural materials.
You are all amazing 👏 Each brought something unique to the space.
Laura's floor material, Alvin's lighting, lulu's window and vanity
I like Alvin Wayne's bathroom with the marble floor and wall, Moroccan plaster , the square bathtub, and the chandelier.
I love that he put it in a city high-rise too! Most of the designers don’t think about moving the entire room’s location! He’s clever 😊
Was super excited to see this in my notifications! Love this series. Hope to see Darren again soon 😁
I like Lula's bathtub and Laura's colors, but neither feels the most practical. Having divets in the walls and ceiling sounds like a great way for mold to grow since bathrooms are hot and humid so often.
I love love love LOVE Lula's design! It's so unique and I've never seen anything like it. It has so much thought and purpose put into the design. She really went wild on the design and I love that about her.
Laura’s is one that would be most functional to me, but also warm, natural, and inviting.
I would go with Laura's design and just add more plants
Lulu's placement of sink is what i love the most, that natural light from the windows is a thumbs up for me. Also, when I am brushing my teeth it's nice to see the views outside
I want Alvin's walls and vanity, Laura's tub (but in the center of the room) and shower, and Lula's gigantic floating window/wall thing. My budget is 4$.
Wow Lula’s concept should be use in a spa. 4:37 Very original and ingenious!
NEW PEOPLE?!
I’m shocked!
Laura's is so fancy and earthy. And Lula's tub is 🔥🔥🔥
Lula had me with the door & tub🛁 but the idea of getting out of that tub… all of see is slipping down the marble steps in all ones’s glory😂 but it’s a fantasy bathroom soooo yeah, what a fun project.
okay, Lula can take all my money cause whattttttttttttt. everything yes
i love this series as a conceptual aspect. Real life deisgn has so many constraints in terms of codes, plumbing and electrical connectiosn etc that such free spirited approach isnt possible. But this series allows us to see what ifs.
I love Lula's space especially the bathtub with the stairs and I'm in love with her oversized marble sink and counter top. Her lighting choices are spot on. My concern would be that rain water coming in with dirt and how would you be covering that when it's not raining and what if birds or insects fly in.
For Alvin's room I love it, especially the shower
In Alvin's space I love how enclosed the shower is, the mable choice which makes the place look even more luxurious and I love the bathtub, it just right not too big or too small. I could imagine myself chilling there with a book and a wine glass while enjoying that amazing view. I just wish he had added a stool or a tiny low table to place stuff especially when ur in the tub. And maybe a rug in the middle to make that big space a little less conspicuous.
Laura's space is practical but it also feels a little empty I wish she did more for this space.
I love how Lula is inspired by classic design. There's a sense that I went to the past but grounded enough for me to stay present and modern. Stunning bathroom!
The space savers series are insanelyyy fun and inspiring to watch. Plz continue :)
That condensation design in a small bathroom is 😍. Definitely considering the logistics of that for my ensuite. And the windows on either side of a mirror 👌🏼LOVE Lula!!! But bring Darren Jett and toilets back!!! 😂😂
