Just saw this in a mag and wanted to share. An over-the-top shower-for-two (who does this, anyhow?) with some really great features:
The view straight out the glass, through the windows and into the light outside, and whatever is out there. I’m presuming that with these kinds of bucks, they neighbors aren’t close enough to peek.
From-the-floor stanchions for supply and controls.
At-the-bench supply and controls for the hand showers.
The great way the drain is handled, in the trough under the bench, instead of out in the field of mosaic tile.

Elaborate showers are the in thing.
In the 90's it was tubs now it's showers.
That 42 story condo project I worked on for the last couple of years had quite a few "over the top" showers in it.
I put in four brands I never heard of before & ywo of them I hope to never see again.

Gallons of hot water per min. ????? Gluttons!
Figured you'd be complaining about the all-white decor!

They must pay someone else to clean it.
I have much to learn about married life, having only been married for two years now. But still, I wonder: if you want to shower with someone else, why would you want to be six feet away from them? Who needs a shower that big?

zak,
Being married myself, I know what you mean....
However, married people don't have these kind of showers. These are for very wealthy single men who know more than a few attractive women who might all need to be in there at once. ;)
Not speaking from direct experience mind you (I've never been THAT lucky) aside from some of the high end, very large homes I have worked on which oddly enough, were owned by a single guy with no wife, kids, etc....yet they were still 5k sq ft plus and had these kind of bathrooms.
I can't understand people that want big bathrooms for two. when I go to the bathroom, I want to be there by myself.

You know, not to generalize, but the 29% of people who still support President Bush are the ones who love to pronounce themselves more patriotic than the rest of us. But just saying you're patriotic is like saying you have a big one. If you have to say it, chances are it's not true.

weird, two discussions about privacy in the bathroom on the same day. I just posted this link to Boss Hog somewhere else.

Since this thread has degraded to this, and since no one else has said it, may I be the first.
Well when my wife is in the bathroom and I come in and sit down she usually leaves pretty quick...
Come to think of it, when she's in the bedroom and I come in and lay down she also leaves pretty quick...

i'm just curious,what do you supose a shower like that cost. i know the standard answer here is 99,560. but i'm guesing you wouldn't have enough change left over to buy the toliets ,bidets and sinks in this bath.
it's kinda obscene how much people can spend in a bath, we all do pretty much the same thing, and something pretty simple can acheive all the goals.
i've got a friend with a 40k bath,and you still sit on a white toliet and do your bussiness. larry
hand me the chainsaw, i need to trim the casing just a hair.
Personally if the shower is that size I'd design it with no glass walls at all.
Looks kinda stupid to me....if yer gonna go for it then go for it!

When I build my master suite on top of my garage the shower in the bath will be about 9'x4' no door just a curved section of glass block that you will have to walk around to get to the multiple head + body spray section.“When politicians and journalists declare that the science of global warming is settled, they show a regrettable ignorance about how science works.” Nigel Calder, editor of New Scientist
Thats EXACTLY what I did in my first house...wish I didn't loose all my photos...damn...cept that shower was about 6'X 7'
The whole exterior wall was glass block...floor to ceiling and the entire shower room walls and ceiling were taiwan green marble...sunken down about 8" from the rest of the bathroom which was also Taiwan green marble ( I gotta see if I have hard copy photo's of that somewhere).
The glass block was the wavy kind you can't see through clearly and I did a sort of "T" of the block that was clear as window glsss from about
4 1/2' off the ground to the ceiling...that way I could see the woods out back and the sky..the block all blended together nicely.
I wanted to (still do one day) make the opposite wall an entire saltwater fish tank. I promised myself I'm gonna do that one day. My wife hates the idea...TOUGH!

How exactly did you get that photo of my house??
So is that a mirror glued to the back of the glass wall, over the sink?
There is no more that I would want than a shower that everybody could see every bottle of shampoo, body wash, razor, and every other non mentionable that I keep in the shower.
I will post pictures of my "ideal" shower soon.....just finished the room this weekend.
You guys....
Shower in a big space with your wife or lady friend with 16+ GPM flying all over the place with soap suds, hands, moving bodies, glass and natural light all around is awsome! What's the matter with you? The only way to "do it" is in the dark, lights off and with the blinds closed? Your kidding. Right?
The shower glass steams up pretty quick anyway even with Rain-X on it. If my neighbors (or the moose, deer, bear, or birds) need that much of a show then let 'em look. Til then I'm male and sort of human.
Even alone it's the best way to wake up.
As for the crapper, that's why there are several bathrooms in the house. Trust me, the guest and powder rooms were not on the budget list. It's the only reason the door is closed with the 2 of us. Everyone needs to leave a bomb in peace one in a while.
