Can't see that rascal without a picture.

Mine is made from a fiberglass pan and cultured marble sheets on 3 sides
with a glass door on the fourth side.
2 vertical silicone caulk seams and one around the base. The base goes in
before the green board and the slabs over that.
15 years and I really should pull out the old caulk and redo it. But what
the heck.

Perhaps you get a terrazzo shower pan, then use tempered glass for the walls
and ceiling having the glass shop drill holes for the plumbing and a steam
vent. The light can be above the ceiling and shine in through the top. For
the corners have a sheet metal shop bend some polished stainless that the
glass can be inset and sealed. You can find some wall paper to paste behind
the glass or perhaps get uncut sheets of dollar bills for the wall paper.

About the time I had mastered getting the toothpaste back in the tube, then
they come up with this striped stuff.
