This remodeled bathroom now serves as powder room for the kitchen/family room and a guest bath adjacent to the media room with its pull-down Murphy bed. Since the bathroom opens directly off the family room, we created a small entry with planter and low views to the garden beyond. The shower now features a deck of ironwood, smooth-trowel plaster walls and an enclosure made of 3-form recycle resin panels with embedded reeds. The space is flooded with natural light from the new skylight above.

Tracy Stone AIA The "curtain" is actually a fixed panel of resin by 3Form: http://www.3-form.com/. The possibilities are endless as you mix and match colors and textures. Have fun!

How do you clean the shower floor? I love this look, but I wonder about hair & other ickyness building up underneath the wood? »

Tracy Stone AIA We used ironwood, also known as Ipe. You can simply treat it with oil (like a butcher block counter) depending on the wood type. It will take a bit of maintenance - oiling it once/year for example.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Becky Harris to Step Into a Refreshing Outdoor Shower
This space plays with the boundaries between indoors and out, with the stunning glass panel marking the dividing line. The shower is open to the sky.
added by ds design studio to Get the Look: Falling Water in the Bath
Translucent resin panel with embedded reeds. A ribbon of water seems to flow from the upper left side of the shower. Reeds provide a natural element and visual texture and define the directional flow. Behind it is a rainfall shower head. This panel from 3form is made from 40-percent recycled resin.
Vertical plantings inspire and reflect the lines of this outdoor shower as well. The shower curtain picks up the vertical lines, with shimmers of light between, a perfect echo of the horsetail reeds seen here.
added by Lisa Frederick to So Your Style Is: Japanese
Style Secret: PlantsIntroducing a touch of living greenery infuses a Japanese-style interior with vitality. Choose traditional plants such as bonsai and bamboo, potted in sleek, minimalist containers made of wood, stone or another organic substance. Keep the palette focused — green foliage is more appropriate than a bounty of colorful blooms.East meets West: Want to venture beyond classic Japanese plants? Bring in specimens that suit the style's sleek, minimalist look: horsetail, ornamental grasses and more. Or explore ikebana, the time-honored art of flower arranging (and there's no shame in having the florist pinch-hit if you're all thumbs when it comes to floral design).
added by Debra Prinzing to Garden Design Essentials: Texture
The surface textures in this spalike outdoor shower area make it so very special. According to the designer: "The shower now features a deck of ironwood, smooth-trowel plaster walls and an enclosure made of recycled resin panels with embedded reeds." The privacy panel with the embedded reeds echoes the nearby planting of reedlike horsetail (Equisetum hyemale) — a nice, textural touch. More:Using Lines in Garden DesignUsing Rhythm in Garden Design
