The outdoor shower is the architect\u2019s answer to the waterfall. Merely because of its proximity to nature, the outdoor shower becomes an elevated space. Outdoor showers engage with a site and landscape in a way unique to many functional spaces. At the same time, architects needs to consider privacy and sight-lines for each shower, as well as how light and materials will affect the space.<\/p>\n

Increasingly architects have been bringing the outdoor shower in, incorporating the light-filled, materially robust spaces into apartments and urban dwellings. The effect is dramatic, creating a more rugged and sensory experience than the traditional shower. Read on for eight amazing showers at one with the great outdoors:<\/p>\n

Hoopers Island Residence<\/b><\/a> by David Jameson Architect<\/a>, Church Creek, Md., United States<\/p>\n

Drawing from the local vernacular of hurricane-resistant huts and shacks, all of the structures in the Hoopers Island Residence are slightly elevated. The outdoor shower is also on an elevated platform, connected by a pathway, with an enclosure that opens to the Chesapeake Bay.<\/p>\n

Cecilia Road<\/b><\/a> by MW Architects<\/a>, London, United Kingdom<\/p>\n

Although not strictly outdoors, this innovative shower design by MW Architects projects out from the main building, enclosed by three, full-height frameless glass walls and roof, giving the impression of showering outdoors. There is also a secret ventilation door built into the wall that swings open to the garden.<\/p>\n
