European style open shower/wet room

I guess I don't understand why you wouldn't just build a shower lip onto the floor so it is separate and doesn't have any risk of leaking.

This looks like a handicapped accessible bathroom.

I think it would bug me to have a wet floor in the non-shower area.

I remember showers like this from my childhood visits to older apartments in Israel. My mother would have to use this giant squeegee mop to push the water back into the shower area after anyone finished. She didn't seem to think it was fun at all.

Why not just create some sort of physical barrier to keep the water where it belongs? It doesn't have to take up that much space.

My cleaning crew would love the stream-lined cleaning. Looks super efficient.

+1 in Argentina. If the floor isn't graded properly, water can pool everywhere.

I had one of these in my apartment in Italy for three years. Pain in the butt. Put in a very small shower stall.

Not a fan at all; looks cheap and always feels dirty to me because the water gets everywhere. I've used them many times in many countries and can't imagine having one in my house.

Done nicely it doesn't look cheap at all, in fact quite the opposite. It actually looks very stylish and modern.

I remember showering in something like this in taiwan when i was very young. I completely ruined a roll of toilet tissue.

I agree that these *can* look very stylish and modern... when they're dry...but I still don't see why the obviously useful innovation of a barrier would be completely overlooked. It wouldn't look any less modern, and the barrier need not take up much space. So why build a whole shower room?

This is probably great for public bathrooms and prisons where you can hose everything down easily.
