some people have posted photos of showers in modern upscale hotels, walk-in showers that have a hole through the glass for you to stand safe & warm & dry outside, reach through the hole from the outside to turn on the water.

This just seems like the wrong way around... Surely it's better to build the shower so the water doesn't go near the tap? Just have the tap off to the side?

Imagine having a sink where the tap was directly underneath the spout.

Putting the tap opposite the shower head could also work. The plumbing would be kind of wonky, though.

That's an understatement. It would be such a huge pain the ass to plumb that.

Yeah that was definitely a take that forgets that valves are still a mechanical system and the knobs are where they are cause they open and close the flow of water there. I guess you could do electrical systems now but.... That's probably a bad idea for so many reasons.

Yes, the plumber would have to put a few extra bends in the pipe, drill through a couple more studs. I don't see that as being a big deal. It's a pretty common thing to see taps that are not directly in line with the shower head.

My friends house had a little spout near the floor in his stand up shower, so you could run the water and test the temperature with your toe. When it was good you pulled the stopper like in a bath and it came out of the shower head.

And all the cold water that has been sitting in the shower pipes since the last shower comes out, pushed by the warm water behind it.
