No. 4 Outdoor Showers & Saunas · Colonial

Outdoor Shower with Corten Screen Enclosure

Mounted against a red brick house, an outdoor shower is framed by a corten screen enclosure atop pea gravel and stone pavers bordered by green ferns in late afternoon sunlight.

Design notes

Colonial design is symmetry and restraint. Look for a central axis from the back door, matched beds and hedges either side, bluestone or brick terraces with tight joints, and white or black picket and post-and-rail fences. Planting is disciplined — boxwood, hydrangea, holly, dogwood and shade trees — and furniture is classic: teak benches, Windsor chairs, a market umbrella. Georgian brick, clapboard and shingle houses all suit it.

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
