New basin-toilet design combines water saving and aesthetic style

March 15, 2010 | By Tian Yang

Form or function? A question that bristles the minds of architects and designers alike.

Most consumers simply ask, “Can’t we have both?” Well, yes, from time to time designers strike an ingenious balance between the two.

Take W+W, an L-shaped single unit toilet/sink that will satisfy both the environmentalist and minimalist in you. Functionally, the sink and toilet are internally integrated with wastewater from the sink fed directly into the toilet’s cistern, thus saving as much as 25 percent of the water used by conventional sink/toilet combinations.

And the design is just plain sleek.

Developed by the Roca Innovation Lab and designed by Gabriele and Oscar Buratti, it costs EUR 2,731 (plus delivery) to have one installed at your home. Not too pricy for a sink, a toilet and an internal water-saving system all-in-one.

    #1 looks uncomfortable
    #2 looks too small
    #3 sitting next to the wall like that is both annoying if tile is cold, and possibly unhygienic!

    can someone provide the dimensions of the sink – too many of these combinations compromise sink size and this one seems to address that
