Man is accustomed to fulfilling his natural needs in places that maximize the convenience of the process. At the same time, many creative minds have applied their imagination here. There are enough unique closets in the world, which can differ not only in bizarre designs, but also in the presence of high technologies. Let's try to figure out which is the most unusual toilet in the world. The criteria by which to do this, determine yourself, based on the examples given. Some of them, without exaggeration, are simply real works of art.
Gold latrines
The most popular and unusual gold toilet was created by a Hong Kong designer. For this, he spent only 5.7 million dollars. This amount was enough to build a room in one of the jewelry stores, hinting at the frailty of material values. If shoppers purchase items over $200, they will be able to use the restroom for its intended purpose.
There are appropriate hygiene accessories for such a room. Some of them are purely symbolic, while others are quite real and exploited. For example, in one ofIn specialized Australian supermarkets, you can buy a roll of toilet paper, which contains 22 carats of gold. Make it available online through the PayPal payment system. For a minute! The cost of such pleasure will be $1.3 million.
Shopping and erotomaniac version
Agree, advertising messages are much easier to perceive on an empty or empty stomach. This know-how was decided to use by marketers of one of the shopping and entertainment complexes in Germany. The closet is attractive in itself with its external and internal design, and is also equipped with a kind of showcase, where collections of underwear are unobtrusively offered. Some experts argue that after visiting such an institution, a man is much easier to part with money to buy new clothes for his lady of the heart.
Among the unusual German toilets, one should note the restroom, in which urinals are made in the form of women's mouths with painted lips. To many users, this may seem like overkill, but there are also many such erotomaniacs who become just regulars, perhaps asserting themselves in this way. It is worth noting that in some cities and countries, such design of a closet is prohibited at the legislative level.
Queenstown Hotel Star
Very ambiguous memories for men remain after visiting an unusual toilet in the elite New Zealand hotel Sofitel Queenstown Hotel and Spa. According to the designers' idea, the wall on whichurinals are fixed, full-size photographs of women observing what is happening with the help of glasses, binoculars and other optical-measuring devices.
It is noteworthy that real women living in Queenstown posed for the designers. They can be found on the streets of the city, which will not always cause positive emotions for some visitors to this remarkable restroom.
J. Michael Kohler Center for the Arts
This establishment approached the design of the toilet room as creatively as possible. Six artists were hired to paint the premises. For example, one of the objects was designed by Ann Egy, who took the Delft style as a basis, using tiles of blue and white colors in her compositions in a unique combination.
Carter Kuster based his work on creating an unusual toilet by posting quotes from ordinary visitors. Some of them are very funny, others are strange and incomprehensible. The motto of such creativity was the phrase: "Tell me something that I don't know yet." These toilets have become quite popular. Visitors often ignore the "M" and "F" signs, trying to look into all the rooms.
The most unusual toilets in Japan
Inhabitants of the Land of the Rising Sun never cease to amaze with high technologies in various fields. Public closets are no exception. A shopping mall in southern Japan has family toilets with lots of buttons and special fixtures. It is almost impossible to understand them without instructions, given the fact that herethe most intimate processes are automated.
For example, in 12 Toto Washlet latrines, a special self-cleaning type hygienic stick is provided, designed for washing and drying customers after they go to bed. Some cabins are equipped with toilet bowls for children, special noise equipment is provided to mask the sounds characteristic of such processes. Some users humorously note that the only thing missing is a robotic commentator who controls the procedure.
Futuristic eggs
One of the most unusual toilets in the world is located in one of the London restaurants Sketch, specializing in French cuisine. It represents eight huge sparkling eggs. They are placed along the perimeter of a special futuristic staircase, reminiscent of a perch. In fact, cocoons are active closets. Four rooms are for women and the same number for men.
The inside of each egg is a white-style latrine, the outer hole acts as a washstand. Such an unusual and stylish design is largely due to the fact that the restaurant is located on the territory of the center of arts and music houses. A similar interior was chosen by restaurateurs M. Mazuz and P. Ganyar.
Chung Yo Department Store
Taiwan's Taichang City has some of the world's most unusual toilets. They are decorated on the principle of "bar in the restroom". It's no secret that long queues to the toilet often overshadow rest in entertainment establishments. The original style is designed to somewhat smooth out these unpleasantmoments.
The interior of the rooms is decorated with green tiles, red urinals and a refrigerator with bottles of popular beers. In this entertainment center, there are 14 such rooms, each closet is unique and stylized in its own way. For example, there are rooms with "outhouses" in the form of basketball hoops, where everyone can "train" in accuracy. There are also Coca-Cola-themed rooms, where the cabins are huge cans, and the jungle lavatory has appropriate vegetation.
Don't waste a second
According to the designer of one of the most unusual street toilets, Monica Bonitsinni from Venice, her wandering closets with a telling name are intended for art connoisseurs who do not want to waste precious time distracting from the contemplation of the expositions. From the outside, such cabins resemble an ordinary mirror box. At the same time, from the inside, you can observe the events taking place outside.
In such places, many users may have the feeling that the room is also transparent from the other side. Such "masterpieces" first appeared in London (2003). Then they visited the Kunstkamera in Zurich, and may end up anywhere else.
The original toilet in Korea
Unusual renovation of the toilet was carried out by the former mayor of Suwon, a plumber by training. He created a huge "House-toilet" and a whole park of latrines. This composition has become the main attraction of the region. The buildings took over 400 square meters of glass, concrete, plastic and othermaterials.
After Sim Jae-duk died, the structure was used as a museum. Visitors can get acquainted with the history of world plumbing, interesting facts in this area. Children especially like educational excursions. The late Mr. Sim himself believed that the restroom is a place where culture should also reign.
Bar 89
Many New Yorkers know about this establishment located in Soho. The toilet cubicles are made of transparent glass, which, after entering the visitor, is automatically covered with a kind of frost, masking everything that happens. Some guests are worried that at one point the electronics will fail, but this has never happened in many years. Another distinctive feature of the bar is the curved skylights.
Some more interesting options
Among the many remarkable closets, a few more original models should be noted:
- Urinals in the form of a wind instrument. Quite an unusual idea, built on contrasts. Making music on such trombones is very specific.
- Washroom on wheels. Some Japanese manufacturers are working on not only the concept and unusual design of a small toilet, but also its mobility. For example, the Toilet Bike NEO motorcycle is not only created for fun, it is equipped with a toilet bowl instead of a seat. It is also focused on protecting the environment, capable of processing human waste products into biofuels. Electronics allows you to analyze urine, play various melodies,and also communicate with the owner on various topics.
- Closet lift. This design is very popular in London, where there are many beer bars. In the evening, the booth literally comes out of the ground and is used for its intended purpose. In the morning, these dry closets hide again and become almost invisible.
- "Parodies". Everything is simple here, faience or ceramic copies of various politicians or celebrities are used as urinals, mainly the head with an open mouth.
- The Japanese are very fond of various games. They even have them in the toilets. In this case, a person controls the process with the help of a jet (you can guess what). There are several game themes to choose from, ranging from similar graffiti to entertaining Tetris counterparts.
- Tokyo Museum of Engineering Innovation has a real space vacuum lavatory.
- The most extreme closet. This, at first glance, unremarkable restroom, is located in Altai at the Kara-Turek weather station. The peculiarity of the cabin is that it is installed on a structure above a cliff, the height is 2600 meters above sea level.
Unusual country toilets
Equipmenting a suburban area, any owner wants to make it as comfortable and practical as possible, including providing a convenient bathroom. Even among the budget options, you can choose a project that is unique and not similar to other analogues. Construction begins with drawings, markings and choosing the type of closet.
It is necessary to consider the drainage system, taking into account the characteristics of the soil and locationspecific area. An unusual toilet with your own hands can be built from wood. It is not recommended to build it in a conspicuous place in the garden or close to the neighbor's boundary. It is best to choose a remote place near tall trees for this purpose.
Next, select the type of restroom (booth or cabin). As for the configuration, it all depends on the imagination and skill of the owner. Alternatively, you can build a bathroom in the form of a tower, a carriage, or an original disproportionate structure. You can also decorate the finished building in a variety of ways, using modern building and finishing materials.
Recommendations
Wood is predominantly used in the construction of a "booth" type latrine. Quite suitable varieties of ordinary inexpensive wood. Such a structure retains heat well and for a long time, which makes it quite comfortable to use it in the cold season. In summer, in such a design it will not be stuffy, since the natural material "breathes". You can increase the resistance to moisture with the help of simple methods of processing with special repulsive compounds. In addition, this will significantly strengthen the structure. For such modifications, the foundation is not required.
An unusual toilet in the country by the type of cabin can be built in several ways. Such a design is more interesting externally than a booth, however, it necessarily requires the construction of a foundation, since it has a low stability index. Alternatively, you can strengthen the structure by building a water tank on the roof. Whereinthe strength of the cabin under load will increase, making it possible to use the upper part as a small attic space. It is worth noting that this version is easier and more interesting to decorate.
Finally
As they say, there are no limits to the flight of human imagination and the implementation of creative ideas. This did not bypass such common areas as toilets. The variations discussed above are far from the whole list of unusual, and sometimes strange closets. If the developments do not go far beyond the limits of decency, why not experiment in this area?
