I suppose the protocol is to just leave the shower doors closed on both sides when not in use...otherwise it would indeed be a privacy issue. We have what we've always called a "Jack & Jill" bath between our two smallest bedrooms. It's a pale brownish color tile and has no tub, just a tiled shower stall. I'll see if I can take some photos this evening to share! I’ve never seen this arrangement either, but it’s certainly interesting!

B) I don’t get the privacy, say you are using the toilet on your side and then one needs to use the toilet on the other. Where is the privacy? The wall to divide, from this picture it seems like you could just stare at the other person through the tub area. C) Privacy again, you are on your side, but then someone could come in on the other side and just see you as do you step through the tub to lock the other side’s door? Robert Hello,

I don't know--for me there are some privacy issues with that configuration. Guest bathroom combined with master? I don’t know–for me there are some privacy issues with that configuration.

They needed the space for the <i>three</i> doors that little room had.

I have never seen or heard of such a thing, but what sense it makes. My only comment is --- doesn't it deserve a name of its own? I mean, jack and jill bathroom is used to describe one bathroom shared by two bedrooms. This is one tub shared by two bathrooms. So, maybe jack and jill tub??? Well, this is a new one for me.
