bruseniche


Definition from own experience or research:
bruseniche

Example sentence(s):
  • Brusekabiner distancerer sig fra andre bruseafskærmninger ved at være en fuldstændig tæt bruseniche. - SaniNetto  

Explanation:
brusekabine is also a possibility, but a brusekbine usually has a door, so bruseniche is better, as a bruseniche usually does not have a door and is a built-in shower. A brusekabine is usually a module.

No  Jason Cochrane: The stated intent is that it must be an open shower area. Brusekabine is close, but would be reverse-translated as shower stall.
