Lol, wasn’t this the bathroom setup in the movie Parasite as well?
Yep, basement apartment and sewers high enough that it would otherwise require a pump when flushing.
That was the first thought that came to mind
Mobile reception must be good there.
It’s one thing to find there’s no loo-roll left, it’s another to have to go downstairs to get a new one
Parasite (2019)
Just one sheet left too!
What’s with all these mountain loos? Is there an actual reason for it, like not enough space for plumbing underneath?
Basement toilet and they didn’t want to install a system with a pump or break the concrete.
DHWhy?
Looks like it’s a concrete floor and they didn’t want to cut it up to install a proper drain, so this was the solution they came up with.
As a former contractor, I’ve seen a lot worse ideas.
It’s even possible this wasn’t about cutting up the floor. If this is a basement apartment, that sink’s drain might be the lowest point in the house that drains with gravity. If they wanted it any lower, it might’ve needed a pump, which is a lot of extra expense and annoyance.
The toilet has clearly been brought up level with where we would expect the sink’s p-trap to be. It’s clearly been raised enough to tie in.
