We're planning our new home and we're considering some different
layouts for a bathroom. One of the more creative ones is to create a
tiled shower with glass surround, possibly 6'x10', and install a
bathtub inside at the end.
We've tried googling for some examples, but all we keep finding are
the usual bathtub/shower combinations found in most homes.

Is there a name for that configuration?

Ostentatious?

Really?

Many homes have a shower stall and seperate bathtub. I just want to knock
out the wall between and glass it in. It's not THAT much of an upgrade.

Not ostentatious at all. After all, travel trailer showers use this
concept. The idea of a large wet area centrally drained is used all
the time to save money and space. I've seen the application used in
low-end bath designs as well as high-end bath designs. The most
important thing to address is waterproofing. I suggest finding a
qualified designer that can detail (design) the proper layout (tub,
shower, etc), waterproofing & materials. I wouldn't expect to find
many how-to's for this on google. You can follow this link to see an
example. It's a bed/breakfast photo or advertisement, not a how-to.
Good luck.
