Abstract
A shower assembly for use as a stationary shower or a hand-held shower includes a housing, a hose and a shower head. The housing includes a plurality of sides, an inlet, and an at least one outlet where said housing is concealed behind a shower wall adjacent thereto and protects the shower wall from water damage. A hose is freely disposed within the housing having a first end connected to a water supply pipe, a second end connected to the shower head on the exposed side of the shower wall and defining a fluid engagement between the water supply pipe and the shower head. The hose is extractable from a housing outlet when the user pulls on the hose second end during use as a hand-held shower and is retractable into the housing during use as a stationary shower and the hose is concealed from the user's view. The shower head height may also be adjusted to user's desired height.
