No. 3 Outdoor Showers & Saunas · Mid-Century Modern
Poolside Outdoor Shower with Cedar Screen
Mounted against an exposed brick exterior wall, this poolside outdoor shower features a brass rain head, dark teak slatted flooring, and a vertical cedar screen set alongside flagstone pavers and yucca plantings.
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
