Hinoki Ofuro with Red Cedar covers

We built this circular ofuro of hinoki, and crafted the traditional wooden covers of red cedar. We think the two different woods look great together.

Ofuro in Teak

One of the advantages of a small operation like ours is the scope for custom work. A recent client requested teak, and the result was this beautiful soaking tub, complete with traditionally styled wooden covers.

SeaOtter Tub featured in Architectural Digest

We built a tub for Jennifer Aniston’s Beverly Hills home recently.  Her home was featured in the March issue of Architectural Digest.  While most of our customers are not as famous, we are honored to have been selected for this project!

New soaking tubs from Neptune

Neptune have recently introduced the Wish tubs, molded of solid polymer. These are sturdy, durable, and graceful tubs. We are happy to offer these well-made and beautiful tubs if you're seeking an alternative to a wooden tub. 

 

Large ofuro tub completed for spa in Vermont

This custom ofuro is one the largest we have built to date.  This tub is over 7 feet long and 3.5 feet wide. Our team did a beautiful job on the tub and accessories.  The wood is our classic Hinoki.  The design called for an overflow slot and a reinforced rim.  We also provided a set of beautiful benches to match the tub.

VERY Large Teak Tub

Don't let the picture fool you. That's not a child in that tub! Built from some beautiful teak, a full four feet deep, and measuring nine feet long, this is one of our largest elliptical tubs yet. Impressed? Well this tub hasn't even been oiled yet...

A Tub in a Treehouse in Hawaii!

This elliptical soaking tub is in a deck in a tree house and in Hawaii.  Very cool.  Or hot.  The wood used is Western Red Cedar.  The workmanship and creativity – impressive.   You don’t need a treehouse to enjoy one of our tubs however.  In fact most of our tubs go on the ground.

New York ofuro

This Hinoki ofuro was commissioned by a New York client.  It is a large family tub – 72 x 36.  This tub is complete with a three part traditional ofuro cover, and a matching cabinet for the plumbing fixture. The cabinet provides a clean installation of the tub fill fixture.

Water fill fixture

This is a custom fill fixture designed to go with one of our tubs.  Water will pour out of the slot and cascade into the tub for a beautiful effect.
