Incredible Outdoor Showers You’ll Want To Cool Off In
Bringing the allure of island getaways and beach vacations to any open air area, an outdoor shower can serve both style and function. Scroll down for a look back at some of the best outdoor showers from the H&H archives.
This marble-clad outdoor shower sits on a deck attached to a shiny, 31-foot-long, 1953 Spartan Spartanette camper. The space is a guest retreat for visitors to Lyndon Cormack and Tori Quarles Woodlands home in North Vancouver. “My properties are lived-in, shoes-on kind of places,” Lyndon says. “I like patina and things that have a story to tell.”
“We have a thing for outdoor showers,” says the owner of this Toronto home, Lesley Stowe, with a laugh. Nadeen Rajani of the firm Drawing Room Architect built this teak-lined one on the third-floor deck, where designer Kate Zeidler’s labradoodle, Lucy, likes to hang out when she visits.
For Richard Ouellette and Maxime Vandal, the duo behind Montreal design firm Les Ensembliers, an outdoor shower is a fun addition to their country garden’s pool house. To make it as private as possible, the shower is oriented to face empty fields.
This outdoor shower has a seashell-shaped vessel sink and antler-adorned mirror to underscore the space’s whimsical theme. Rustic touches, like the wood partition, keep the look casual.
