        Showerhead seems like an issue. I guess if you can articulate it to point to the wall and the wall is well sealed it’s probably ok.

          The wall has to be well sealed. This is better. The shower head is pointed away from the curtain. Less water on the floor.

    I … find it functionally superior (less water splashback) and also kinda aesthetically more pleasing than if it were centred (within the chosen parameters of colours/materials/designs … which bother me more, looks cheap).

    I also find it dirty (prob right after the work was done).
    I would rinse it a bit before posting pics.

    … actually the offset might be for accessibility reasons - so people with mobility issues (eg in wheelchairs) can get to the faucet easier. Which is always a good design option imho.

    It’s not mildly infuriating at all, it’s mildly pleasing.

      More likely, there is a sistered stud directly in the center of the surround, and to fix it properly, they would have to tear out both sides of the wall.

      Offsetting the valve to one side or the other, they don’t have to do any additional demolition, framing, or drywall.
