According to Dezeen, Swedish coastal houses commonly feature an outdoor shower anyway, to rinse off salt water after a dip in the ocean.<\/p>\n<p>The core of the house is a concrete box \u2014 with an uncanny resemblence to a 40-foot shipping container, which is about the same size \u2014 with the shower extending off one side, and a covered patio area on the other.
