The Toilet-shaped House has a very unique design and was built by Sim Jae-duck, the chairman of the organizing committee of the Inaugural General Assembly of the World Toilet Association, and he hopes his toilet house will highlight the global need for better sanitation. The Toilet-Shaped House is in fact named Haewoojae which signifies in Korean a place of sanctuary, where one can solve ones worries, Sim Jae-duck opened what is billed as the world's one and only toilet house to mark the launch of his World Toilet Association. The steel, white concrete and glass house, with a symbolic opening in the roof is a 419 sq, m structure with two bedrooms, two guestrooms and other rooms, the two-story house of course features three deluxe toilets.Unlike the giant toilet in which they are located they are not see-through affairs. If you would like to visit this house you can go to Sim Jae-duck's native city of Suweon 40 km south of Seoul.

ReplyDeleteand for some reason I keep imagining a potty for a giant when I look at the Sim Jae-duck house!
What a great post Val! Love your toilet illustration - smart house, complete with swimming pool!! The other toilet house is quite an amazing construction - wonder what it's like inside?!!

Nice entry! Definitely that toilet bowl has your signature! Thanks for the pic of the toilet house. Let's hope there's no giants around.
ReplyDelete(I left this comment for you on my blog, but didn't know if you would be back to see it..) :O)
ReplyDeleteDood! Thank you so much!~ I take that as a huge compliment because I modeled that farm guy after my own face! You should see my nose..you could hang donuts on this baby! ;oB
Thanks, dood. You are the supreme art queen, girl. ;o)
American masters! How phenomenal! And your toilet house how apropos!
ReplyDeleteIt's great and It's true!
ReplyDeleteI like your style.
Cheers!
That's pretty funny...on both counts...I had an apartment that had some bad pipes or something and after a month my toilet looked so bad I didn't even want to use it...and no amount of scrubbing or cleaning made the inside look any prettier...I found out they just kept switching toilets when new people moved in to try to hide the situation...I guess replacing toilets is cheaper than fixing pipes...and this has been another episode of "more than you ever really cared to know about me"...
ReplyDeleteYour little toilet is too cute to be germy!
ReplyDeleteAmerican Masters...Wow, how exciting ( "VALidated"...I like that.)
Whoa! That is A LOT of windows!
ReplyDeleteHeheheheheh! This is so cute. What a house and what a toilet. Oh Val, I love your houses and your toilets. HAHAHAHAHA! Oh my. This is too much fun!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I have an award for you over at mu blog.

ReplyDeleteNow that's a bowl you would find me floating in and loving it!!!!! Oh this card is perfect and wonderful. I can't stop laughing delight!!!
ReplyDeleteval, i have no doubt john was fabulous. i'll bet he loved every minute.
