Not finished yet!

Also it's dispiriting when those little fuckers fail to recognize me as an active human being.

Robert Cook म्हणाले...

I like these. I've used them a few times.

PB म्हणाले...

Probably less expensive and easier to clean.

Big Mike म्हणाले...

I'll bite. Is that an optical illusion? Or photoshop?

Bill म्हणाले...

The federal government as restroom.

traditionalguy म्हणाले...

Are the faucets fake too?

Bob Boyd म्हणाले...

Camouflage tactical lavs.

Skeptical Voter म्हणाले...

Oh goodness me. Are we talking some female who identifies as male going in the men's room?

Eric the Fruit Bat म्हणाले...

I've always thought that solid gold faucets and vitreous china sinks were the very definition of bathroom vanity.

Great way to get your good pants wet.

But you couldn't tell because there are no mirrors.

Freeman Hunt म्हणाले...

Gross. Guess no one ever needs to put anything on the counter in there.

Freeman Hunt म्हणाले...

I bet the drain trench at the back of the counter/sink is less than pleasant.

rehajm म्हणाले...

Actually no sink. The counter is angled toward the wall, where there's a linear drain

California Snow म्हणाले...

Rehajm nailed it. It's sloped back toward the wall where the drain is at....or it's photoshopped.

I miss the Sochi Olympics already...

Me too. After a few beers I don't have time or patience for that "aiming" nonsense. Plus, you can wash your hands right where you stand, if you're into hand-washing.

Any water pressure at all and you're wearing some wet pants (or shorts, ha).

Think of a it, a gutter draining along the back wall. How sanitary.

Just like the gutters on your roof, it will be filled with debris.

rhhardin म्हणाले...

It goes with the flushless urinals.

rhhardin म्हणाले...

A lot of places are baffled by paper towels. There's no wastebasket next to the door so there's a pile of paper towels on the floor by the door. People use the towels to open the door, which handle is used by the no-wash community as well.

Joe म्हणाले...

Atlanta Airport has those.

bridgecross म्हणाले...

That took me a while. The counter is sloped back, and the water drains into the slot along the wall.

Humperdink म्हणाले...

Waterless urinals have a chemical (usually an oil) that floats on top of the urine in the trap to prevents the urine fragrance from returning.

Big Mike म्हणाले...

Yeah, I see it now.

Big Mike म्हणाले...

@rhhardin, according to a study that I read a bunch of years ago the door handles in both genders' bathrooms were far and away the most germy places in the bathrooms, beating out even the flush knobs and sink handles.

Behold this photo of skinkless skinks!"

Rosalyn C. म्हणाले...

On our way to conveyor belt lives predicted in science fiction. With sinkless sinks is there any point in having a separate urinal section in a mens' room? Funny how men will urinate together at a wall of urinals (at least that's what it looks like in movies) but women would never do that. Is there a tag for public toilets?

Joe म्हणाले...

I think they are called ramp sinks. A restaurant in Portland Main has one very similar to the following, though with two faucets, not four:

Gross. Guess no one ever needs to put anything on the counter in there.

How is that different from a normal public restroom? I'm afraid to set anything down anywhere.

Freeman Hunt म्हणाले...

I often put a bag on the counter, if the counter is dry and relatively clean.

rcocean म्हणाले...

When is a "Sink" not a sink?

Pugsley the Pug म्हणाले...

I saw one of these sinks while I visited Seattle a month ago (Crystal Mountain resort, if memory serves me correctly). Pretty cool and ingenious.

Darrell म्हणाले...

They'll use a plunge router to cut the hole and install the sinks. It's not finished.

SweatBee म्हणाले...

I've used these at Cheesecake Factory. I wasn't sure whether I liked it or not from a user standpoint, but it looked like something that would be faster for the staff to clean than a regular sink.

Mike (MJB Wolf) म्हणाले...

I like depressionless sinks, hands free soap dispensers, waterless urinals and no-touch towel dispensers. It seems a little closer to the 21st century I was promised when I see clever designs like this.

mikee म्हणाले...

With the IR sensor to activate the faucet only when hands are present, and no doubt a mighty conservationist-approved water flow that compares well to the flow of tears from a marble statue, one does not need a proper sink with a proper drain.

This is environmentalism gone amok. It is better in the environmentalists' minds to save a few gallons of water per day and have feces-covered hands than to have proper enough water flow for hygienic washing.

Bad Lieutenant म्हणाले...

Also can someone explain why there is so little room between the faucet and the bottom of the sink? There's hardly any room for one's hands, especially if one is moving them about vigorously to get them clean all over. Who wants to touch a filthy public sink, or even one at home, with one's hands which are what one is trying to get clean? Or to touch the faucet, putative source of clean water, with dirty soapy hands?
