    I know exactly what happened here having just done a renovation on a basement with a completely fucked up bathroom.

    They re-used the existing piping and lines when replacing the tub and shower surrounds.

    They wanted to save a few hundred dollars and/or effort of moving the pipes to center up with the prefab tub/surround, and just figured they could drill the hole into the surround for the shower attachments wherever.

    They’re correct, but that doesn’t make them right.

    I actually like it better this way, as I wouldn’t have to reach in as far to turn it on. I think having controls there and the spigot on the corner on the left would be best, though.

        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.

    As ugly as it is, at least it works. I kind of like offset spigots, but this was obviously just a mistake/laziness.

          It looks like it’s primarily aesthetic.

          A few notes though… With the faucet and valve so close to the open side, the shower curtain could inconvenience adjusting the temperature or catch onto the handle if not paid attention to. If the shower head is also offset that much (not sure by the pic but a couple of easy fixes are available) it could make it more difficult to shower especially with having to stand in a tub.
