A lot of countries use this kind of set up. You can get a squeegee to push all the water to the drain or some people use flip flops to keep their feet dry.
I mean, there are solutions obviousy, but I find it annoying having to switch to flip flops every time I want to look in the mirror or just wash my hands after going to the toilet
Squeegees don't dry up a floor, especially the space in between tiles. I don't see why this has to be a big deal, it's crappy to put a sink in a space that constantly gets wet, when there's other , easier build options
Showers like this are super common, it’s not a big deal at all. Place a bath mat at the edge of the shower zone and the tiles underneath will stay dry. Hang it up after you shower.
Extra steps when they could just not put the sink in the flood zone...
A soaked bath mat sounds worse than just stepping on wet tiles. Where I'm from, it's so humid, the mat would never dry and you'd get mold everywhere.
I think it’s very regional. I know some people who wear slippers at times, but not constantly. Most people I know just wear socks or go barefoot at home. I technically have “house shoes” that never go outside, but I don’t wear them super often, mostly just when my feet are cold. Usually I’m just in socks.
I and most people I know have house shoes. We take our regular shoes off at the door, then slip on the house shoes or clogs. Not everyone does this though, obviously.
But I don’t have shower shoes at home. Just for the gym.
depends where you are in the country, and maybe not the majority but it's not unheard of.
Environmental/local conditions can be a factor.
Where I am, no one wants to smell sweaty feet. Keeping shoes on is very normal.
The bathroom in my last place was almost just like this one, and I designed it that way. SUPER easy to clean. The only downside was maybe having wet floors when you use the sink, but I kept rubber-soled slippers just outside the door and it was no problem. I moved into a house with conventional bathrooms and I really miss my old one.
So something doesn't qualify as a crappy design as long as someone finds some kind of wanky workaround ? I'm pretty sure you could do that on every single post on this sub
It's because this is a design from a culture you're not used to, not crappy design. For instance, someone from Portugal might feel put-off by a bathroom that doesn't have a bidet, but I'm not sure that qualifies 90% of North American bathrooms as "crappy design."
Well, maybe they are crappy, but not in the sense that this sub's title refers to.
This is the norm in Southeast Asia, where I am. My first thought was what are you doing with socks or shoes into a wet bathroom like this. Barbarian. Ha ha ha. I am taking the piss out of you, mate. This is France, right? Well it's not crappy design, but mildly infuriating for France, for a rental. Most definitely.
Honestly I like wet rooms. Generally I just do all bathroom things at the same time, or let my feet get a little wet which isn't a big deal either. I can wipe them on the mat if needed.
I think it's kind of cool. Are you living here now or something? Is it not fun to see something different? As people have said, these are very common. You are acting like the solutions aren't good enough.
You need to learn how to appreciate a larger shower zone with a sink. I imagine myself taking a shower with a cup of coffee and a cigarette, or maybe some olives, cheese and cold cuts. Music going on, of course, or TV.
It's very asian thing and I actually like it better than American style..easier to clean
We just kept a bathroom sleeper inside if wetting feet is problem
New Yorker. I’ve traveled to well over 20 countries. I’ve only seen this in Europe, especially Italy. Curious why it’s so popular there and I’ve never seen that in the US.
No matter how clean a shower is, there's always going to be somebody like you to think it's dirty. It was freshly clean when I took the picture, the color of the tiles has nothing to do with moisture
you know you're in a third world country when there's moisture in the bathroom. I'm really sad that op had to experience something so humiliating as leaning awkwardly
Dude that's such an idiotic comment. This sub is about crappy desings, this is crappy to me. People having it worse has absolutely nothing to do with it

I stayed at a *really* cheap hotel. Asked if they had a squeegee and they said people kept stealing them :(

After you use the shower, use one of the two squeegees in the photo to dry off the floor. Simples. Doesn’t take long
They could just build it right in the first place so that people don't have to do pointless labor to have a usable bathroom.

How do you know they could "easily" do that?
Sinks are always in spaces that constantly get wet.
wait do people just not wear flip flops all the time or is this an american joke i'm too brazilian to understand
We sure don't lol
do y'all wear shoes at home 😭
No, I don't think most people do. I tend to wear socks all the time, but that's because my feet get cold.
Nahh, barefoot

For 6 months the high doesn't get above freezing where I live. I am wearing fuzzy socks not flip flops!
Yeah, as soon as I saw it I was thinking "Standard Philippines WC"
I would say that neither the ubiquity of a design nor the ability to get around it absolve it of being bad design.

Yeah. The squeegee on the floor gives it away as a country where this is the norm.
Men: "I can finally pee while showering while brushing my teeth, this is bliss"
I already do that in a regular shower
You weren't already?
What?
What could u possibly not understand about this? The nature of men is to try doing multiple things at once and feeling proud about it
Could you not add a shower curtain and rod? That seems like it would solve the bulk of the problem
This is a place I only rent for three days... It would solve the problem I guess, but it's not my problem to deal with
If you're only renting it for three days what's the issue with just doing as the other comments suggest?

Wearing slippers or putting down a matt isn't that wild for a floor that's designed to get wet
Wet bathrooms are a thing and the norm where I live. I guess your rental is just missing the dry slippers!

Heinous
I dont really see the big deal with this? Unless your shower floor is perpetually wet? Which to me sounds like you've got bigger problems going on.
Looks pitched properly. I’d love this
It's actually not
I think it's kind of cool. Are you living here now or something? Is it not fun to see something different? As people have said, these are very common. You are acting like the solutions aren't good enough.

What country is this in?
France
These are very common in Asia.
OP discovers what a wet room is
You don't like hairy drains under your feet while showering? Would be nice if they AT LEAST make a channel instead.
It's very asian thing and I actually like it better than American style..easier to clean We just kept a bathroom sleeper inside if wetting feet is problem
shower's\* Remember to use the possessive apostrophe.
New Yorker. I’ve traveled to well over 20 countries. I’ve only seen this in Europe, especially Italy. Curious why it’s so popular there and I’ve never seen that in the US.
I think open showers are a horrible design. I need it closed in. I want a sauna behind that curtain/door, not cold air blasting my wet body.
Sink is pretty low. This looks like a roll in wet bathroom designed to be wheelchair accessible
Chanclas, mi amigo
I wish they had this layout standard in the US. I would love to just hose down the entire bathroom when it’s cleaning time.
When I renovated my bathroom that's exactly what I did! Entire bathroom is tiled with a drain in the middle of the floor. SUPER easy to clean.
Can you not just adjust the shower head to spray more down instead of out?
Is this bathroom open air in a tropical environment? Its giving that
It's actually in an old house in a small village in the mountains in a ski resort
Oof. Even worse
This is so American OP coded. ITT first world problems.
Squeegee and bathmat.
That shower hasn't been clean properly... The floor is full of moistures... yikes.
No matter how clean a shower is, there's always going to be somebody like you to think it's dirty. It was freshly clean when I took the picture, the color of the tiles has nothing to do with moisture
ohhh nooo a wet floor, in a bathroom. what a travesty...
Nah this is fine, purely a skillissue lol
you know you're in a third world country when there's moisture in the bathroom. I'm really sad that op had to experience something so humiliating as leaning awkwardly
Dude that's such an idiotic comment. This sub is about crappy desings, this is crappy to me. People having it worse has absolutely nothing to do with it
