Meet The Beauty of Water: A Revitalizing and Space-Saving Shower for Every Home
Even in ancient times, bathing and grooming oneself was considered a necessity. The refreshing feeling of being rid of sweat and grime while looking your best creates a significant improvement to one’s mental stability and satiates the human desire to be clean.
The first shower was invented in 1767 in England, which was mechanically operated by a hand pump and used less water than baths. Since then, showers have imitated the cooling effect of gentle rains as droplets slide across your entire body. Every drop goes a long way, and the water would either wash away both your worries and sweat or cling intimately to your body to keep it moist and soft.
For architects and interior designers, designing a bathroom with a shower can be quite challenging. According to an article in Archdaily, bathrooms are often the smallest and most complex rooms in a house, containing various hydraulic and plumbing equipment. Having these many mechanisms means that it must be carefully planned, which is difficult especially for bath-loving families who desire a shower to be installed in their bathrooms.
Why Filipinos love bathing
As a tropical country, the Philippines experiences hot temperatures all-year round, making sweat build up faster than other regions. According to a news article, bathing at least twice a day is even more important in the present time as it helps stop the spread of COVID-19 and eliminates unwanted germs on the body. Another study proves that bathing improves mood and reduces fatigue.
These benefits are amplified when paired with a good shower. An article from Healthline suggests that showers have quite a few advantages over taking a simple bath. Warm showers can help soothe exhausted muscles and release bodily toxins, while cold showers can help burn fat and boost our immunity. Aside from its physical uses, showers can have positive effects on mental health. One is considered to be a form of self-love, as if the water is embracing you tenderly. A shower can even copy the physical social warmth for that dash of intimacy and relaxation the human body needs. Another effect is the fast-paced brisk showers made for days when we are feeling active or bathing after a workout session. Either way, a good shower sets the mood for the day, something that architects keep in mind when drafting a house plan.
Unfortunately, not all Filipino households have experienced the joys of having a good shower. The average Filipino bathroom includes both the toilet and the bath in a small room, rarely divided into two. The standard building code in a Filipino bathroom is required to be at least 0.9 meters, roughly 35 inches, which is already almost the exact size of a shower room. The minimum dimensions needed for the smallest showers are usually 32 inches by 32 inches. These dimensions can cause quite a problem for architects and interior designers as they try to come up with ways to make sure that their clients are comfortable in each room of their house.
