Corrugated metal panels. These make an unusual shower stall. Though the undulations are horizontal, the overall effect is vertical and mimics falling water.

This bathroom sink has a long history, both with the homeowners (experienced salvaged fixture users) and before they found it. Here's their story: "We purchased the sink several years ago from The Salvage Barn in Iowa City, Iowa. We were told by a volunteer this may have been reclaimed from a remodeling of the University of Iowa's Biology Building, but have no way of verifying that. We did not yet own the Yum Yum Farm, so this sink lived in our back yard in Iowa City, growing different plants each year — herbs or annual flowers. It was well into the design stage of the Yum Yum Farm house that we ran a picture of the sink by architect John DeForest to see if he thought it would be a good fit for our house. John agreed. We then had the sink and its original metal stand refinished. The sink was refinished by a porcelain repair man, the metal stand was refinished at an auto body shop.We like how the sink has a 'counter' built in. We also like the depth of the basin- it contains splashes. We think the sturdy form of the sink adds to the farmhouse aesthetic."

While galvanized steel is a common material in the area, it's rare to see it indoors, much less in a shower stall surround. "It was a bit of an experiment but has held up well. If it ever needs to be replaced, the old panels can just be unscrewed and new ones installed," says DeForest. The salvaged sink is from an old laboratory.Completing this project opened DeForest up to the pros of designing from afar, and he's taken on many long-distance projects since. He's even opened a satellite office in Northern California. "Monitoring construction from a distance was actually easier in ways than a local project," he says. "Rather than making many site visits, the owners and contractor emailed photos regularly. I remember noting an error on an email one evening and being able to call the next morning to correct it before any more work had been done."

Consider aluminum/corrugated metal for interior walls? Bath, kitchen, basement?

Use a much smaller sink, and you have something resembling a reasonably-sized 3/4 bath.
