This shower stall was made using a tadelakt plaster technique. It is waterproof and requires no maintenance. The other stall was made with a lime plaster lath that was pasted with horse hair and between small wooden strips. The walls done with the lime plaster do require regular refinishes. |

Bamboo was used to support the piping and the shower head. The frame of the structure was made by connecting timber with a mortise and tenon technique. |
