zzhar,
The bench is 16" high and 16" deep, and about 45 inches long. If I had a choice (and the room) I might make it 2" wider.
Yours,
John Donkin OAA MRAIC

Wet rooms, in my experience, have two distinct advantages to regular tile floors that helps prevent slipping:
1. As a wet room, the entire floor is sloped (gently) towards a recessed edge drain which you can see underneath the bench in the image. this prevents large puddles of water forming which is a big factor in slipping.
2. There is in-floor radiant heat under the tiles so what little water is left on the surface of the tiles gets evaporated much more quickly than with a standard forced-air system.

Makes sense now John Donkin. Maybe in South Africa we are not as sophisticated architecturally as the USA. It's a smart idea. GREAT BATHROOM.

In this case, the entire segment of floor that would be considered the shower base is sloped toward the drain (seen at the base of the bench) then, to my knowledge, this project used a variety of Schluter products ( http://www.schluter.com/) to provide waterproofing.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Mary Jo Bowling added this to Dream Spaces: Spa-Worthy Showers to Refresh the Senses
Without the windows, this shower and wet room, by John Donkin of Ottawa, Ontario, would be less remarkable. But with them the room gives bathers the experience of showering outdoors, minus the drafts. This home, built with the help of RND Construction, was named Green Home of the Year by the Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association.
