To bring the bathroom back into the family-and vice versa-a West German firm has designed a Wohnbad, or living bath, to be shared by all. It boasts chairs, rugs, paintings, sun lamps and hair dryers, TV, bookshelves, sauna, telephone, refrigerator, bar and coffee maker.

They will be among the first residents of Olympic Tower, a complex of 230 condominiums, 19 floors of offices, exercise rooms, sauna, private dining rooms, boutiques and a block-long park with three-story ulterior waterfall, trees and two bistros that will be open to the public...
