Is there a name for this kind of extremely thick looking stucco style wall with the soft edges? Or is this just entirely built of cob or something?

Considering it's a bathroom my best guess is lime plaster.
I don't know if there's any specific term for it, this may just be one of many ways to texture it. You will need to experiment to get this type of texture.
You can look up harling. Moroccans have tadelakt. Maybe these will help you find some method to apply it.
Whitewashed adobe style.
Looks like ass. Like someone didn't know what the frick they were doing. Like a bad drywall job
I took a closer look — it would have looked a lot better with sharper corners. Not 90 degrees but a lot less rounded.
Its a digital render morons, there are no bricks in there at all.
If you wanted to specify that finish pattern regardless of the material, "hawk and trowel texture" is the term professionals will recognize...
But like most hand troweled textures they aren't necessarily uniform and run the range from very rough to very flat, which is where that kind of look overlaps with a skip troweled texture.
The one in your pic is very rough and also appears to use a mix with lots of heavy sand in it like stucco.
The rounded corners are part of the look that happens more or less naturally over brick and stone but have to be anticipated if you are doing this over stick frame/wallboard, using radiused corner bead.
More generally speaking any finish like this that suggests old time materials and techniques is said to be "rustic" and (especially with masonry) new materials that are artificially treated to make something look like it was created using old school techniques are said to be "rusticated"

What a load of crock. Not a word you said was relevant to the OP. "Hawk and trowel" that's just the tools used. Might as well call "standing next to it and taking a lot of time" as some advanced technique.
STFU, moron homosexual who can't even look terms up before beclowning himself.

It's undoubtedly not textured drywall.
stucco texture is work. You're rendering the walls to some style of uniformity. You'd set up lath, brown coat, scratch coat, then work the stucco magic. It's probably misted to take out the tooling marks. idk the names of textures and avoid this work as much as possible.
The original is called tadelakt, ancient Moroccan form of lime plaster but this is done more roughly than you would normally apply tadelakt. It is applied in one thick layer, then when it’s half dry you take a trowel to it for the structure. It works best over stone or rough brock walls because it already brings some of the structure and the mud like stuff sticks better to surfaces that aren’t flat as drywall.
Originally it would be finished with olive oil and soap but these days people tend to put PU coat because it’s maintenance free. Also it is kind of prone to cracking when a house settles because it’s pretty brittle.
Deco stuc and beton-ciré are similar but can’t be done as rough as in your picture because they’re multiple thinner layers (up to 1/4”)
It's probably called 'Adobe' something.
It's going to look like shit in a few years when it all starts cracking from the humidity in the bathroom.
It's not that the stucco is thick, it's that the masonry is so garbage the bricks are not aligned.
Nice try drywall boomer, It's obviously Ibizan style and you can see the alignment of the bricks underneath. I'm sure you're totally a knowledgeable craftsman though, not pretending at all
yes, "unhygienic"
freestyle lime plaster
and you just throw the plaster on the wall pretty much, like you do the first coat of stucco but with a thicker mixture
Here's how it's done the trad way
Looks cool but I hope nobody here will get the idea to construct a shower with material like that.
why not
lime doesn't hold water
It seems pretty difficult to clean and while the (AI generated) photo looks aesthetically pleasing, it seems like it would be a poor choice for a shower stall in real life. Not because of water damage issues, but just because a rugged and textured surface like that is difficult to clean and keep in good shape.
just keep whitewashing it
