Residential Design Inspiration: Outdoor Shower

Even though the summer heat may be trailing off, we’re still dreaming of ways to cool off outside. One fun element we incorporate into some of our homes is an outdoor shower. Whether after a long hike in the Hudson Valley or after taking a swim in the pool, having an outdoor shower lets our clients stay connected to the outdoors for just a little longer and provides a cool design opportunity for us.

One of our clients asked us to include an outdoor shower in their new home and we’ve been having some fun with it. We’re designing an inventive outdoor shower for them with moving parts and put together the animation below to illustrate how it works. The design allows for flexibility in the use of the exterior space while also creating privacy for when the shower is in use.

Since we’ve been collecting inspiration images for this project and for others, we thought we would share just a few of our favorites. We’ve always loved outdoor showers, so if you’re feeling extra inspired, check out this post for some more awesome design ideas.
