Berlin in the 80s had shower cabinets in the kitchen and not walled off. Because the old apartment buildings didn’t have any bathrooms, toilets were shared between all apartments of a single floor. So when it these shower cabinets became available people put them into their kitchen.

I’ve seen that in older apartments in Zürich too. But not too sad that this isn’t a thing anymore…
Some apartments in NYC even have a bathtub in the kitchen.
Must be nice to have such a big kitchen that you can fit a shower in it.
If you don’t have to fit a bathroom in the apartment, you get extra space! I have also seen some converted pantries and it’s tiny.
