We could close our eyes, blindly choose any one of the showers featured in Dwell's A Look at Open-Air Showers, and be pleased as punch. Each and every one is stunning in its own way. Oh, to shower en plein air...
The shower/bath shown up top is from Australian architect Brian Zulaikha's home. It's cool and composed. Spa-like, if you will.
This one's a little more quirky and rough-around-the-edges. It's from the Hanko, Norway home of Kari K. Holm and architect Jürgen Kiehl:

love these, both of them!
they're popular here in the caribbean (but of course)! although not usually so crisply designed as the first one shown....most are more like the second "rough-around-the-edges "shower".

The first one is nice the second one really creeps me out something I saw in a scary movie I guess.
the summers are really hot here in Croatia, so I can`t live without my shower on the balcony. It is not pretty like the one on the first picture, but not as scary as the second one :)
That second shower: "It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again."
Slowdown -- totally!
I never really considered the outdoor shower until renting a beach house with friends. I would say that over the course of a summer 90% of our showering gets done outside, even though we all have a private bathroom in our rooms.
Although the small square and open at the bottom shower is not so great for shaving legs!
ok good glad I was not the only one
As a lifelong northerner (first Michigan and now New Hampshire) I can't even fathom showering outside -- maybe at the beach...
