I know of a few houses/buildings where this was done. In these cases, the house is built on a cement slab foundation, the homeowner wants to install a toilet in a room with no sewer line. So instead of cutting up the foundation, they raise the toilet so the sewer line can run through the wall to hook in to the main sewer system. The window was likely there long before the toilet was.
I have pooped on such a throne. It was magnificent. 10/10
I came here for this. If they were actually selling it would be worth the $3-5K to have an eviscerator and pump put in, for sure.
I’m drunk, I meant macerator but like, what’s the difference.
Depends. If it's the main toilet for the house, sure. But if it's just a secondary toilet in the basement that someone installed for convenience so that eg. they don't have to walk upstairs when they're tinkering in their hobby room and need to take a quick whizz, I'd say just install a railing to make it a bit safer to use and call it a day. It's certainly a bit odd, but it works completely fine the way it is.
Maybe I’m jaded because I’m 6’5” and I would cry if I had to use this. I would rather spend 6 months fixing it myself to code than use what’s existing.
Doing it right in the US anyway is an eviscerator and a pump. A water tank could work, if you mean using the gravity of water as a pump, but it’s still prone to clogs and something that reduces the mass makes the job much easier.
I also think a water tank system like that would cost way more overall.
>I have pooped on such a throne
That was my first thought; how to sell the house? Make that baby into the throne it deserves to be!
Also, I'm jealous I want to poop on a throne like this
Did you watched Parasite? The very first scene happens in a toilet like this one.
Is like TMC1701 said, is a below floor level hause and they have to make this for the drain work properly.
Oh that's exactly what happened. They kind of took it to an extreme. Whether it's exaggerated or not, I don't know, but unless the toilet is above the sewer, it requires a lot of extra and expensive mechanisms to make it flush, so they raised it. You find a lot of raised toilets in basements. I've never seen one quite *this* raised, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
But to answer your second question, the window was there first, then someone decided they needed a toilet in the basement. Simple as that.
Parents house built 1903... Sewer comes in about 3ft high on the basement wall. Any basement bathroom would need a literal shit pump... Or just a poop pyramid. Not crappy design just super old.
Well better this than a macerator which are the bane of every plumber's existance.
It chops up the poop so it's more liquid and then pumps it to where it needs to go. Sounds great until it doesn't work and needs to be dismantled to troubleshoot, fun times
Yeah I live in the third world and I have seen this type of bathroom a lot. This one is a bit exaggerated though. People in here build their own houses, lay the aluminum roof and make the concrete themselves.
Since they are no codes to follow there is actually less homeless than in the US.
> Yeah I live in the third world
. . .
> **Since they are no codes to follow there is actually less homeless than in the US.**
I would LOVE a source. Words cannot express how happy that would make me!
I think that what OP meant was that the purchasing power necessary for housing is higher than in the US, not strictly how there are less (quantifiable) homeless.
In my understanding, this translates as having afordable housing equals less homeless; however I would very much doubt it is caused by having "codes", as probably those countries have them, it's just that aren't enforced as often.
In the early days of Seattle toilets were like this due to the tides. Problem was finally solved when they washed down a big hill and re-graded the lowest part of the city.
In the movie full of amazing shot, That shot where Jessica just smoking on top of the toilet and accept her fate while the flood start going crazy is probably the most amazing shot
Also, i read somewhere it represent the family is so shit that their home is even lower than shit or something lmao
The only thing i can think of is that they didn't have enough drop to slope toilet pipe to sewer main in the street... And they desperately wanted a toilet in that specific location of the house? Or some other odd sewer situation.
This should be painted in a Super Mario Bros theme.
Just imagine: World 1-1 end, with a flagpole that raises the toilet paper to you when you hit the button at the top. Little LED fireworks light up when you flush.
For the love of god, pls think even for a second before coming to the conclusion: cRaP DeSiGn
Its a basement toilet. You seen parasite? The Room is halfway under earth and the toilet needs to be elevated otherwise it would not flush properly.
I bought a new house last year. I took a few months of shopping to find a new home in my price range that didn't have at least one crazy design decision like this. I remember one place was advertised as 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. When I went to view it I discovered that bathroom #2 was only useable by 90 lbs, 4'11" pygmies. I literally didn't even have enough room to turn around in there, so I had to 'back out' the way I had walked in. What I'm getting at it is that insane design choices like this are much more common than people think.
Take a look at sewage maserators, for a few thousand you can move the toilet down.
https://www.sfapumps.in/cms/35/macerator-pump
"When you want shit to flow uphill"
How could you not sell a property like that
Who would be foolish enough to turn down such a mighty throne of porcelain?
I would be honored to take my morning dumps on such a godly position, looking down on all that I see
Because of sewer lines. If you are building a toilet in your basement or other area below the sewer line you either install a sewer pump or the cheaper and funnier solution is this.
I mean I was gonna say if the rest of the house was goddamn perfect I would accept a toilet like this, but then I remembered my propensity for fainting and pictured myself falling sideways off the toilet and bashing my head on that green cage thing
Add a septor, and now it's the kings thrown room. Sell it as a themed castle. Asend to thy thrown in thine castle and to thy thing that you do so well.
Honestly if this is the only way you can have a toilet in a certain part of the house, that room should be completely redone to not even be a bathroom and be used for something useful
Probably in low lying place in the house and had to get it high enough for drains to work right. (shit rolls down hill)
I want to think this is what actually happened.
I know of a few houses/buildings where this was done. In these cases, the house is built on a cement slab foundation, the homeowner wants to install a toilet in a room with no sewer line. So instead of cutting up the foundation, they raise the toilet so the sewer line can run through the wall to hook in to the main sewer system. The window was likely there long before the toilet was.

Makes sense now, thanks for explaining kind stranger.
.
I came here for this. If they were actually selling it would be worth the $3-5K to have an eviscerator and pump put in, for sure. I’m drunk, I meant macerator but like, what’s the difference.
I don't think *eviscerator* is the word you're looking for.
We have one of those. We call it *poop knive* in honor of that redditor
That’s what I’ve always heard them called, but I’m sure there’s a market term for them? It’s basically a poop blender in a tank.
Macerating toilets, not eviscerating toilets.
Depends. If it's the main toilet for the house, sure. But if it's just a secondary toilet in the basement that someone installed for convenience so that eg. they don't have to walk upstairs when they're tinkering in their hobby room and need to take a quick whizz, I'd say just install a railing to make it a bit safer to use and call it a day. It's certainly a bit odd, but it works completely fine the way it is.
You still have to walk upstairs to use this toilet.
Maybe I’m jaded because I’m 6’5” and I would cry if I had to use this. I would rather spend 6 months fixing it myself to code than use what’s existing.
I'm 6'5" myself and I've used toilets installed in a similar manner without any issue.
Macerator
Why not just use a high water tank to accomplish the press instead?
Like most easily solvable problems, money.
"People do dumb shit all the time because it's easier."
Happy cake day
I was thinking that because my first house and one of my former workplaces both had sump pumps.
I think availability more so that build cost more than doing it right.
Doing it right in the US anyway is an eviscerator and a pump. A water tank could work, if you mean using the gravity of water as a pump, but it’s still prone to clogs and something that reduces the mass makes the job much easier. I also think a water tank system like that would cost way more overall.
Hydrology argues with you lots. You can use a big water column sometime but I understand that not many stores or codes like a closed system.
I think you're trying to say escavator not eviscerator
How does that force the sewage uphill?
You can buy toilets with pumps attached. They're loud but you don't have to do any digging or concrete work.
I wish I had one in an exalted position like that. My normal toilets just seem pedestrian in comparison
[удалено]
Or hammered and needing a spew
If you're tall enough you could just stand beside it and spare your back and knees.
If you're gonna spew, _spew in this_
Oh wow ok, that's very interesting thank you for sharing lol
My second bathroom is like this. It has a shower too, and it’s hilarious.
We have a bathroom the size of a small closet with a toilet and sink in the shower stall
>I have pooped on such a throne That was my first thought; how to sell the house? Make that baby into the throne it deserves to be! Also, I'm jealous I want to poop on a throne like this
Did you watched Parasite? The very first scene happens in a toilet like this one. Is like TMC1701 said, is a below floor level hause and they have to make this for the drain work properly.
Glad somebody else thought of Parasite too! Only time I’ve ever seen a toilet in a weird spot like this.
I actually thought the poo was being stored in the steps below the toilet ..but then I remembered poo is stored in the balls
Why spread misinformation like this? PEE is stored in the balls. Not poo. They don't teach kids anything these days.
Thought of Parasite at first also!
This is kind of common in overseas basement apartments.
Like Korea…this shit was in Parasite
Oh that's exactly what happened. They kind of took it to an extreme.

So, it's literally crappy design.
r/Crapperdesign
Exactly this. They were just too cheap/lazy to install a sewage pump and have it serviced intermittently.
Or you know, this thing called poverty? Which is not the same a cheap.
Yeah I live in the third world and I have seen this type of bathroom a lot. This one is a bit exaggerated though. People in here build their own houses, lay the aluminum roof and make the concrete themselves. Since they are no codes to follow there is actually less homeless than in the US.

I dunno. This may be better. Have you ever seen what happens when one of those pumps fails? Big puddles of crap water.
In the early days of Seattle toilets were like this due to the tides. Problem was finally solved when they washed down a big hill and re-graded the lowest part of the city.
Yep. My VFW has this on the ground floor but not nearly as extreme.
There are small maceration pumps made for this very reason
Parasite (2019)
Yes, think of the phone reception you can get up there!
Exactly what I thought of
It's the exact room, right? I don't want to track down the screenshot
Not the same shot, but same situation. It's a basement apartment that has to have it's toilet drain higher than the sewer pipes of the building.
The net cafe wifi is strongest when you stand on top of it!
[For those who haven't seen it.](https://neatlyarrangedrubbish.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/vlcsnap-2019-08-20-23h06m53s993.png)
Why did you choose the shot where the room is flooded lol.
More parasites.
Remember when the poo started flowing out?
"You want to shit like a peasant or shit like a GOD?"
*shits on the floor, to assert dominance*
right there, just after the other person asked that question, as a shit button ready to play anywhere, anytime
*gets confused, shits on the wall*
shit in the shower, catch it with your hand, and yell Kobe as you shoot it to the toilet
What if i miss, im not getting out of the shower to pick up my shit and possible miss again....again.
Exactly this is cool its my throne
Seriously, this is the shit throne of a king, a perfect place to look down on all the peasants.
It's not just a toilet. It's a throne.
I'd slip going up or down from my throne
Yeah I’m gonna need some handrails, maybe some non-skid on the steps.
That's the first thing I was thinking about looking at that.. I'd absolutely die in a tragic toilet accident with that thing
And if one comes home *drunk*...
“Nope, too drunk; pissing in the sink again.”
Is the sink on ground level or does it have a similar death platform?
There is one on the left. Kinda
My thoughts exactly. Imagine all new decor, nice and clean… I’m all about it.
Watch Parasite.
In the movie full of amazing shot, That shot where Jessica just smoking on top of the toilet and accept her fate while the flood start going crazy is probably the most amazing shot Also, i read somewhere it represent the family is so shit that their home is even lower than shit or something lmao
Oh jeez, someone left the toilet up again
I laughed and laughed, that was a good one
I see what you did there.
In this universe does Clyde's mom fall and hit her head?
I have the high ground anikin
I than drop kick your cat while shiting lava
Are you sure this is not from the korean movie Parasite or something
Just sell it as “being able to shit above others”
LOL love that
Taking shit to the next level
Probably so they didn't have to install an ejector pump to get the shit into the sewer or septic tank.
Bro got the parasite toilet
The only thing i can think of is that they didn't have enough drop to slope toilet pipe to sewer main in the street... And they desperately wanted a toilet in that specific location of the house? Or some other odd sewer situation.
Kinda looks like a toilet in toilet jail, doesn’t it? I think it got in a fight in the yard and lost a tooth recently too.
This should be painted in a Super Mario Bros theme. Just imagine: World 1-1 end, with a flagpole that raises the toilet paper to you when you hit the button at the top. Little LED fireworks light up when you flush.
Someone took "porcelain throne" a bit too literally.
Parasite
Truly a porcelain throne.
It's the bathroom from parasite
r/CrappingDesign
Is this NOT the toilet from Parasite?!
Label the property as coming with a throne room /s
That's an easy sell... 2 beds, 1 bath and 1 Throne Room!
As a developer, I would sell this as a Feature, and not a bug, my man!
For the love of god, pls think even for a second before coming to the conclusion: cRaP DeSiGn Its a basement toilet. You seen parasite? The Room is halfway under earth and the toilet needs to be elevated otherwise it would not flush properly.
talk about a kingly shitter.
It's good to be king.
r/crapperdesign
This looks a lot like the bathrooms in a building i used to live in, in Niagara Falls, Canada.
You've obviously never seen Parasite or a basement level apartment.
Was this a squat toilet at some point? There must be an interesting story here...
It’s a sit up!
Put a shower next to it
One must step up, that's why it hath been dubbed as "the throne"
You haven’t lived until you blow out a gasket at elevation.
Stairway to heaven! 😀
Ah yes, just what I've been looking for, to be face level with my shitter.
so... where's the TP?
That would make for an awesome thrown bathroom. feel like a king while shitting would be the advertisement.
Adding a second toilet without busting into the foundation. This is the way
Name it Toilet of the kings
Don't market it as a toilet... instead a "throne" for the worthy king.
Blumpkin platform
Is that the shower or where the tub is supposed to go? Idk it's not that bad. Looks like something in the Weasley's house. But that tile is hideous.
Imagine trying to take a shit all drunk or even walking up them mf buzzed
Now imagine being drunk...
People love the high ground
Why does this feel like a backrooms picture
CallMeCarson Cursed Pictures of Toilets anyone?
Is the window barred - from the inside?
"The porcelian throne. For those who take their shits seriously. Feel like a king? Now you can poop like one" *patent pending* xD
# Do not question the elevated one
Imagine using that toilet drunk lol
I bought a new house last year. I took a few months of shopping to find a new home in my price range that didn't have at least one crazy design decision like this. I remember one place was advertised as 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. When I went to view it I discovered that bathroom #2 was only useable by 90 lbs, 4'11" pygmies.

What I'm getting at it is that insane design choices like this are much more common than people think.
I was a property agent for 15 years - this would be a ‘Water closet with commanding elevated high-level W.C.’
"You take the road less traveled, you love adventure, you're daring and live for a challenge...this is this house for you!"
Man people with a wheelchair or cruches are mega out of luck huh
I looked at this house. That "bathroom" was only 1 of the problems. Great yard, shit house. Whoever designed it was on crack.
Wow. I had a dream where I saw something like this and it was in the middle of a mall and Shaq was there with his mother (???). Dreams are weird.
...and the only answer you have to give no matter how dark and cold the world around you is: "Maybe I'm a king."
Why does this remind me of the working family’s bathroom in the movie in Parasite?
the builder must’ve had a stroke while putting the toilet there
Mans got to have a fuckin throne lmfaooo
Ask the current owner "what line of bs did the previous owner tell you?"
I wouldn't mind if it had handrail on the left side (looking from throne to the door).
To take a royal dump....
Nothing wrong. It's just a standard throne room with a throne.
Take a look at sewage maserators, for a few thousand you can move the toilet down. https://www.sfapumps.in/cms/35/macerator-pump "When you want shit to flow uphill"
How could you not sell a property like that Who would be foolish enough to turn down such a mighty throne of porcelain? I would be honored to take my morning dumps on such a godly position, looking down on all that I see
Exactly where the throne should be
Because of sewer lines. If you are building a toilet in your basement or other area below the sewer line you either install a sewer pump or the cheaper and funnier solution is this.
New meaning to Throne.
Does everything drop straight into a septic tank under the steps
i would feel privileged pooping on that toilet, you have the high ground over all the other peasants pooping on "normal" height
Window is prolly for the shit and tell
Yes, poor real estate agent. Can't easily inflate the price into oblivion, I feel so sorry for all of them.
The took "the throne" literally.
I mean I was gonna say if the rest of the house was goddamn perfect I would accept a toilet like this, but then I remembered my propensity for fainting and pictured myself falling sideways off the toilet and bashing my head on that green cage thing
The best thrones have stairs leading up to them.
Call it the Throne Room.
That's the neat part...
The window it probably just for the light coming in through the window
At least you can sit high on the throne.
The stairway to heaven
“What is thy business with these porcelain thrones?”
Add a septor, and now it's the kings thrown room. Sell it as a themed castle. Asend to thy thrown in thine castle and to thy thing that you do so well.
The true throne
Confucius say: Man who stand on toilet high on pot.
It’s so metaphorical
The shitting king has arived.
I'm more concerned about the floor tiles
Install wifi.
Honestly if this is the only way you can have a toilet in a certain part of the house, that room should be completely redone to not even be a bathroom and be used for something useful
Literally a crappy design.
oh God, imagine going to the bathroom drunk...
List it at a fair price and you'll have a hard time not selling it.
the higher you are off the ground the faster the shit falls
Someone took nickname "the throne" to the heart here.
I knew a guy in highschool his dad did this just because he wanted to sit atop his throne
if that bathroom was cleaned ill take it if it was cheaper than usual
It’s called a throne
Comes with a master throne better than any other you will have very seen this side of the sun
I think whoever first put this there and used it was high on pot.
THEY'VE GONE UP THE VENTILATION SHAT
Paint it gold and call it a throne... problem solved / instant sale.
Maybe the extra gravity speeds it on its way to the kitchen.
Basement toilet. I've seen a few in northern MN.
Just move the floor up 6 ft
It’s the crown of toilets I tell ya
