There's a long-running architecture show on over here called Grand Designs. Each week the host follows people (generally a couple) who are building their dream house throughout the entire project. These houses are always unique. In recent years, as far as I can see, it's become common on this show for anyone building in the countryside to put a large (sometimes even full length) clear glass window in their bathroom, generally in line with the bath.
The implication is that these windows will not be covered by curtains, either. I can remember one episode in which a 30-something married couple were building a house on a lakeside property. Sure enough, there was the big clear window in the bathroom. The reason I think they didn't ever intend covering it was that one scene saw the host of the show, Kevin, sit into the recently installed bath (fully dressed now!) to comment on the "exquisite" view they would enjoy whilst having a bath.
"I think I'd take up fishing if I was their neighbour", I told my lady as we watched the show.
