Unit Bathroom

I am not CRAZY about the whole concept of Unit Bathroom, maybe due to the fact that I had a first bad experience with it while I was living in Hong-Kong.

My first flat in HK was located in Central, and even if this is a fancy place I had a old building with what I can call a Chinese Alpha version of the Unit Bathroom... basically this was looking like this : Take a Shower... with tile on the floor and next to the water sink your toilet... basically you could have been able to make a poop while taking your shower... A real 2 on 1 system !

I would have to say, the ones in Hong Kong are just as small. And it's not just the bathrooms, it's the entire apartment. I met an elderly couple in Hong Kong who claimed they lived in a space smaller than 500 square feet. The washroom was their largest room! I kid you not.

Only places I've ever encountered bathrooms like that were on travel trailers (or as everyone else calls them, caravans).

Gain of space for other rooms in the house vs. comfortable free space exclusively reserved for "natural needs"... That is the question.

I don't mind either of them, as I am generally not interested in luxury. I'm rather fine with the minimal rate.

I think singles and non overweights would find this easy to managed. Cleaning won't be a hassle I must say, though it does resembles the airplane washrooms just adding the shower at the side.

I've always hated these tiny bathrooms. I slipped in one after taking a shower once. Well I sure you can guess what happened... ^^; Right now I have a large bathroom, but its layout is not very good. In many ways it's as bad as a small bathroom.

Now the only bathroom that I seen that was smaller than that was on a Amtrak train. You had the toilet and the sink at either end of about a 2.5 x 5 ft room. Then the shower was the whole room. The shower head was mounted right next to the toilet, to adjust it you kind of had to lean over the toilet, with the drain being about half way between the toilet and the sink.

It's like something is missing. In a place like that the "the magic moment" loose his meaning. Sure it works well but what the pic give to me is a feeling of "Stop and go". In Japan, i've been alaways in Hokkaido and i never had the opportunity to meet stuf like that.
I'd like to try once. ^^

My "powder room" on the ground floor is smaller than that. Granted it's a powder room so there is no bath but when you sit down on the toilet your knees have nowhere to go. You can use the sink as an armrest or a grip for the leverage if you need to show it who's boss.

Compared to my bathroom, that actually looks several times better in terms of design, appearance and space usage. For mine, you can see the water pipes and sewerage pipes from the units above. Because of the way it is designed, you can't even put a bathtub in there. Therefore, I would prefer these kind of bathrooms over mine.

I need enough space in my bog so when I'm 'laying a cable' I can stretch my legs out a bit and read a book or play on my Gameboy. A bathroom should always have at least enough room for an actual bath - showers just aren't as relaxing!

I've read of toilets in Korea where you not only have no room for your knees and the width of the room is barely wider than the toilet, but that you also have to hunch over to sit on the toilet because the ceiling is slanted due to it being under a staircase...

I happen to have the luxury of a very LARGE bathroom. I love it.

I'm back from my first visit to Japan. On the domestic front I greatly appreciated the automated nature of the toilets inc their heated seats, jet-wash and blow dry. All that was missing was an efficient odour extractor....

I dont know whether typical bathrooms in Japan look like the one displayed at

That bathroom look a little too luxurious for the average Japanese Mansion or family house. How many Japanese house-hold bathrooms have you actually seen?

In my experience, they look a little more like the one on your blog and this: http://www.jshow.com/ihaven/listings/3.html

It's not something I would want, but would not mind using if I needed to. The United States has about 3 times the population of Japan, yet nearly 50 times the land mass X_X. Typical household bathrooms here in America average: 5by5 to usually 10by10. I am VERY jealous of your bathroom if you have something such as that =p We have a manolium floor, a shower, toilet and sink area. One of the rules when I get my own place is I am getting one of those fancy toilets (the electronic ones that ya know...) because 1) I think they are cool and 2) Im an Engineer, I admire brilliance XD

Ya, I like my leg space so this kind of bathroom probably wouldn't be for me. But the thought of being able to shit, shower, and brush my teeth (not necessarily combined every other way (shitting and showering is a no no)) sounds convenient for when I'm in a rush

Danny you wouldn't happen to have a guide on how to use those space age Japanese toilets? I'm a bit scared of having to use them when I go there, being confronted by a huge array of buttons not knowing what any of them do...

I would liek it. Modualar units are better every way around because it saves space, money materials, and last alot longer.

That would be everything that I woudl need.

Their hotels in general are tiny! But Japan's American food beats America's American food almost any day.

Funny enough, I find the bathrooms and toilets here in the UK pretty cramped too, and you'd spend a lot of money to combine both so you can have a larger space.

I actually think thats a great design. At the end of the day, I'm not living or spending extended amounts of time in the bathroom so I don't mind if it is small. As long as I can do my toilet times and have a nice soak in the bath then I don't mind how small it is. I'd rather have a bigger bedroom to use as a home office or games room.

my room toilet is pretty much look like that ^^;

three S's in Japan = (Shit, Shave n Shower).
Good one!
So i guess a tub is necessary in a japanese household.
Kinda envious in that part XD

vote for crapsome is a high price. If the monthly rent is cheap then it's Ok (if you're alone in a tokyo apartment)

Well... And I thought that my dorm room toilet/bathroom combo was small. But compared to this that looks huge.

LOL Danny, your example didn't work too well...

Anyways, in the hotel I stayed during my trip to Japan we had bathrooms like that... all plastic.

I wouldn't mind having one like that at home if I lived in Japan... seems practical to use. Only problem is that it makes a lot of noise...

Wouldn't mind also having the japanese bathroom type... where you have the shitter in a small tiny room away from the shower/ofuro.
Makes sense when you think about hygiene.

Looks almost exactly like my bathroom: http://fumasu.amroth.nl/wpg2?g2_itemId=2999
Not only does it make you feel like you're in a spaceship, it's also super easy to clean thanks to the central sink. Just spray water everywhere and you're done :P

xD wow tiny here are bathrooms are all big and everything
