Is your bathroom small, dark and smelly, and a place where you spend as little time as possible? Consider surrounding yourself in nature with an open-air or partially open-air bathroom. They’re ideal in tropical climates, because odors and moisture are rapidly vented away. Open-air bathrooms are often used in luxury resorts and eco resorts so patrons can be close to nature. Using natural materials such as stone, pebbles, coral, pottery, wood and plants creates a unique environment with inviting ambience. Scented flowers are a wonderful touch. You can build extremely beautiful bathrooms like the ones shown here at very low cost by using locally available natural materials and doing the work yourself.

  2. I am very concerned about your information on people who have built their homes and gardens way off the grid, in the desert, San Bernadino counties and ??
    county rulings to dismantle their homes, destroy, terrible!
    basic needs, food, shelter, clothing!
    we need to fight, who is? how?
    can they not be grandfathered in?
    appreciate your blog!

  3. Vote for your favorite. Or send a link if you find one better.

    Also note, you don’t have to go “all out” like these designer bathrooms. Even a few small touches can make a big difference.
