Traveling to Suwon, South Korea anytime soon? Feeling flush with cash and feel like staying in a house shaped like a toilet?
It’s true. Since 2007, the World Toilet Association’s showpiece has been open for your business, so to speak. Actually the private home of Korean parliamentarian, businessman, and toilet proponent Sim Jae-Duck, the house has four toilets, including an outhouse in the center courtyard:
The centre toilet is transparent and everything can be seen from the living room. But as soon as a special sensor detects movement in the toilet, the glass encasement immediately fogs up so that the user can enjoy his or her privacy.
Spending a night will set you back $50,000. The money goes toward improving global toilet sanitation. Of course.
But the house? It’s a dump. (Rimshot… Boo…)
See the toilet house for yourself in the video below.
