No. 19 Outdoor Showers & Saunas · Mid-Century Modern
Outdoor Shower in Weathered Shingle Enclosure
Outside a mid-century brick house, this outdoor shower features a weathered shingle enclosure, exposed copper fixtures, a stone foot wash, weathered wood decking, and gravel landscaping planted with agaves and yuccas.
Design notes
Mid-century modern design lines everything up with the house. Look for flat roofs and post-and-beam overhangs, walls of glass, breeze-block screens, terrazzo or large concrete pads with gravel joints, and a rectangular pool set square to the architecture. Planting is sculptural and sparse — agave, yucca, olive, citrus, a Mediterranean fan palm — and colour comes from a single accent: an orange door, turquoise water, a yellow umbrella.
What to look for
- Where the water goes — drain, soakaway or the pool deck
- Privacy height and sightlines from next door's windows
- How many barefoot steps from the pool or the back door
