Trend alert: Say goodbye to privacy with the rise of the balcony bath

Home designers are now thinking outside the box when it comes to bathrooms.

Usually considered a place that offers the utmost of privacy, some washrooms in luxury homes are now featured prominently on balconies or outdoor terraces.

Yes, you read right. Some properties on the market will have you saying goodbye to your privacy as you bathe while surrounded by the natural landscape.

Here are four luxury homes that have flipped the traditional bathroom on its head.
