Outdoor shower with louvered roof

The homeowners wanted a place to rinse off when they got back from the beach without it looking like an afterthought. We built the enclosure against the side of the house and matched it to the house itself: the outside walls are the same tan lap siding, the posts and trim are white, and the roof is a louvered pergola that lets light through and keeps the structure open.

Inside, the walls are white vertical panels with a built-in corner shelf, a wall-mounted rain shower head with a hand sprayer, double hooks for towels, and a wood bench. The floor is composite decking on a framed platform, trimmed in white at the base. A latching door closes it off.
