Next winter I am going to build a second bathroom in my new house. I’d like to build a totally unique shower stall. Something that no one else has or at least my friends don’t have. Something awsome maybe even bizarre. Any thoughts. Any previous atricles in FHB?
Thanking you all in advance
In older homes like these, the main remodeling goal is often a more welcoming, more social, and more functional kitchen.

If there was an article about it, yours wouldn't be unique.
Make one wall an aquarium. Or several walls.
Make walls out of solid granite slabs.
Glue solid surface countertop scraps into solid slabs for walls.
There was a shower stall made of corrugated galvanized roofing in FHB, I think.
Put in a large screen TV and show videos of nude recreation while you shower. (There are non-pornographic videos of nude recreation, believe it or not.)

Hmmmmmm...put in a karaoke so I can enjoy my singing in the shower. A live orchestra is out of reach. :(
I cant tell you cause then mine wouldnt be unique!
Here is something unique:
Build it to Code.
Today I demo'ed one built with torch on roofing. Less than a year old. What a waste of money.

Bizarre you say............
Clear glass barrel - on the front lawn
Lights in the floor
Shower spray set up like the rotating wands of a dishwasher
Automatic wash cycling - set up to sequence like a car wash (brushless) hot air drying and hold the wax job.
Specialty settings - such as automatic debridement.
Combo shower/toilet/bidet - s$$t,shower and you figure out how to shave.
You like carnival rides? How about the one that goes around real fast and then the floor drops away and you are pinned to the sides? Add a firehose and you have a shower.
Take weird literally - weir-ed. Make it a weir. I'm sure piffin could help you design it; I can't even begin to draw you a picture of the classic round shaped weirs, but a shower that you can easily get into but have a hard time getting out of would be cool, n'est pas?
Jump in, the water's fine.

For sure that would make you s$$t and p at the same time, don't even try to shave. :)
