wet room

Drain-floored washroom

A wet room is a bathroom designed so the entire space is waterproofed, with the shower area open rather than enclosed by a curtain or door.

The floor typically slopes toward a central drain.

Wet rooms are common in parts of Europe and Asia, and increasingly popular in accessible design since they eliminate barriers: The architect suggested a wet room for my elderly mother's apartment.
