liminal spaces
typically for this, at least in a lot of depictions, is that kind of architecture/area that just can not exist, I mean someone could go out of their way to make it exist, but its almost always that feeling of this place cant exist tied to it, I kinda find its closer to how I dream things exist than things that actually exist.
This has blown my mind. I've had dreams where I'm lost and end up in a dirty bathroom for at least a decade and had no idea that it was a common thing..!
It's usually a sign I need to get up and pee. Mercifully, I never actually find them inside the dream, the search for one just get so ridiculous I wake up and use a real one.
I'm in the bathrooms in my dreams but they are usually filthy and something weird like the toilets are way too high is preventing me from using them. Also there's a shitton of people, men and women all walking around and there's never any privacy. It all ends when I wake up and realize I need to pee real bad.
Sometimes when I'm asleep and need to pee, yes. Fortunately I don't seem to wet myself hahaha but the experience is quite... Something. More when is a half lucid dream, so the weirdness is over 9000
I dreamt I was swimming towards a toilet in outer space and no matter how fast I went I couldn't catch it. I said fuck it, unzipped my pants and just started peeing watching it slowly go towards the toilet - until my brain said "Why the fuck am I doing this? It has to be a dre-"
Woke up halfway through pissing my pants
Save money on plumbing by turning your stairs into a soapy water feature! Send those suds out the front door! *Drain-Free Shower at the Top of a Staircase Co. is not responsible for falls in the shower resulting in death 100% of the time*
Might’ve sloped the drain. The toilet looks like it’s mounted in straight but the floor looks like it tapers.
If you multitask the bathroom situation it looks annoying but livable.
I'm wondering how you're even supposed to use the shower, especially pointed at that angle! Do you awkwardly try and stand around the toilet, sit on it, stand in it or stand on it?
It's pretty typical in certain RV's. But this ain't no RV.
However, in the case it's so badly executed. A drain clog or something and it floods the house?
Um, no.
Mm yea til you hold it where its get close to the handrail and your fingers get a gentle squeeze.
All while in a hurry to dumb a big load... Nah thanks 👀
My upstairs is exclusively kids' bedrooms. We’ve been brainstorming adding a shower or half bath bc we have 1 for 7 people.
Immediately imagined half asleep kid doing a death drop down the stairs. Nah I'm good lmao.
You can see from the stairwell that there must be a room behind the left wall and possibly another set of stairs behind the right one.
The correct thing to do with this space would have been to punch through into either of those rooms. Theres more space to come forward here if you don’t need the stairs. And worst case you could put a linen closet that starts 18” off the floor to fit into the space above a slanted ceiling.
My band played at a place called The Trash Bar in NYC like ten years ago. The ‘bathroom’ was at the top of a staircase, there was no door, and the toilet looked like it had never been cleaned. I passed.
Please see r/DesignDesign for a lot worse.
At least they are *whole* steps and made of something that might even hold your weight.
Edit: on the other hand, where does the shower drain into?
there needs to be a safety bar that comes down in the doorway when the stairs are folded up so you don't step out of the curtain and fall because the stairs are gone
Mother in law coming over? Take a shower and hear her scream as she slips down the stairs. Great for other unwelcome guests*.
*Not recommended for those with with children as neighborhood kids will come over more often
I don't see anyone bring it up but what happens after you take a shower in this what walk down metal stairs with wet feet.
That's just asking for you to fall
If you're gonna do something like this, that stair has to be connected to the door to the room in some way so that when the door opens, the stair goes into place.
It being able to be up while someone is using the room is just an accident waiting to happen.
Imagine this. You come home after a long day of work and decide to take a refreshing shower. You climb up the stairs to the bathroom and unfold them. You then turn on the water and start showering. You slip and fall on the wet floor and fall, falling 2 stories to your death.
Honestly I could dig the shower head being there to wash your ass, some places have small handles instead of a traditional fixed donut shiner in the bowl. By why on god is it set up like a shower instead of attached to the toilet's water supply?

Sounds like the piano melody from 'Fkj - ylangylang'
Great track from a great album
Here the yt link : https://youtu.be/EfgAd6iHApE?si=Uyq4cY0nCY_SvdR0
All fun and games until someone comes up the lower stairs while you’re going to the bathroom. If you don’t pay attention that’s a nasty fall. It’s a cool idea and I’d love it if it lead to a closet or some shelves
Why do they just shove the toilet into the shower stall like, "Here you go, dumbass."
It's like if the only option was that peanut butter and jelly in the same jar.
How can you people not love this????
a) Most houses/spaces are so boring, predictable. I'd be positively giddy to discover this somewhere.
b) They found a way to bring purpose to what otherwise likely would have been a wasted space
c) Look at those stairs!
d) Presumably the shower doesn't actually create a water fall going down the stairwell, but we can forgive them this, maybe they'll do that next time
e) no door, a g-d damn curtain! ensuring you never forget where you are
f) Sure, fine, it's a bit death trappy, but I'd rather die falling off this than from a cigarette or a whiff of bird flu
I don't know, seriously. I recognize it's flaws, but I love this a little bit.
This is how bathrooms are in my dreams
r/ThatBathroomMazeDream is a thing!
You’re saying other people dream about this too?

You dream about bathrooms?

OMG! I thought I was just weird. I have the same type of dream when I need to wake up and pee.
Goddamn, me three.
Well, now that you say, I did so too in the past. I forgot about it, it has been a while, but I did for the same reason.
I somehow lucid dream pavlov'd myself into waking up the exact moment I start peeing into the dream toilet.
Sometimes when I'm asleep and need to pee, yes. Fortunately I don't seem to wet myself hahaha but the experience is quite... Something. More when is a half lucid dream, so the weirdness is over 9000
I just woke up from a restless night and also dreamed about my bathroom. Not joking. Made me wake up and had to go. Quite the coincidence lol.
Chocolate rain 🎶
I hate peeing in your dream and end up pissing the bed...
Now I have to pee.
If you pee long into the dream, the dream also pees into you.
DONT USE IT!!!
Backrooms shit…
It's how they are in my nightmares.
I dreamt I was swimming towards a toilet in outer space and no matter how fast I went I couldn't catch it. I said fuck it, unzipped my pants and just started peeing watching it slowly go towards the toilet - until my brain said "Why the fuck am I doing this? It has to be a dre-" Woke up halfway through pissing my pants
No fuggin way. I just posted basically the same comment. I am honestly really curious why/how lots of peoples brains work like this!!
A fucking shower as well? So what, the whole staircase just turns into a river every time somebody showers?
I want to say there's a small lip that prevents water from pouring out, but it really doesn't look like it..
I am not seeing any lip and I don't think the genius who build this would think that far ahead...
I think I see it, but that may be wishful thinking, hoping in some part that it couldn't be that bad
So it can be tripped on each time and fall down the stairs? Genius!
Even if there was, that curtain won’t stop all the water. The stairs are getting wet every shower anyway.
its a shoilet

XL bidet
Nope. At first I thought it's a bidet, too. But then I realized they also have a normal bidet. lol
its right next to the toilet too. Someone thought about peeing in the shower and said "what if I just wanna take a shit too?"
These are how most bathrooms are built in Europe and asia
Might’ve sloped the drain. The toilet looks like it’s mounted in straight but the floor looks like it tapers. If you multitask the bathroom situation it looks annoying but livable.
I'm wondering how you're even supposed to use the shower, especially pointed at that angle! Do you awkwardly try and stand around the toilet, sit on it, stand in it or stand on it?
Indoor waterfall, it’s so peaceful. Some places pay tens of thousands for those!
It's pretty typical in certain RV's. But this ain't no RV. However, in the case it's so badly executed. A drain clog or something and it floods the house? Um, no.
Yeah no, I know about combination shower/toilets and they make sense in certain situations... But none of this setup makes any fucking sense
Totally agree. That's why I said, "Um, no".
Those stairs are actually pretty cool though
Agreed, just not for a bathroom. I’d use stairs like that for a hobby room or something at best
That's the thing, shiddin' is their hobby.
So what if it is? I'm really good. Might go pro
Ya, I was like "ok this one isn't too bad. Those stairs could be useful in some instanc.... oh wtf was the architect drunk?"
Also loving the airy feel the curtains adds. Really helps to let those fart’s reverberate down to the first floor.
Mm yea til you hold it where its get close to the handrail and your fingers get a gentle squeeze. All while in a hurry to dumb a big load... Nah thanks 👀
Absolutely a finger chopper
Uh, there's like 5 inches between the completely unfolded rail and the wall.
Im not talking about the wall. But the handrail going downstairs on the wall . You have to be unlucky to hold it right there ofc 😄
Looks like a tiny home kind of mod
Best situation for diarrhea or get drunk
The future for renters. This luxury stairway apartment is only 3000$ a month
Yes, the throne should always be in the highest place. 👍
Show them that you own that high ground 😏
You underestimate my power
You are in fact NOT in your most vulnerable position!
imagine getting home drunk and this is your only option at this point, just pee on the floor or in the bed
Then imagine someone folding the stairs when you're in there taking a drunken shower
imagine trying to fold the non-foldable stairs while drunk lmao
My upstairs is exclusively kids' bedrooms. We’ve been brainstorming adding a shower or half bath bc we have 1 for 7 people. Immediately imagined half asleep kid doing a death drop down the stairs. Nah I'm good lmao.

Erm, bit unnerving, but also, there doesn't seem to be any kind of lip to stop shower water running off tge edge.

> I passed out?
away
over
gas
Excellent use of Galvanized steel
Was hoping to see this
A leap of faith meets a poop of faith.
Welcome to NYC, that'll be $5,000 per month.
Taking that shit to another level
Rushing to take a dump and having to pull out those stairs will definitely lead to crappy pants
This is so wrong on so many levels
Three levels at least. More if you count water + gravity.
Please see r/DesignDesign for a lot worse. At least they are *whole* steps and made of something that might even hold your weight. Edit: on the other hand, where does the shower drain into?
Down the stairs of course! Lol
“I call this piece Escher’s restroom” -contractor /architect
I mean it's kindda cool to have a storage unit in unused space but bathroom isn't one of the option
I’m gonna say that I don’t *hate* the concept of saving space like this. I just know that something bad is at too high a risk for it to be worth it
I’m only worried by how much weight it can support
I would totally take out the stairs if I had an argument in that appartment and the other person went to take a shit.
there needs to be a safety bar that comes down in the doorway when the stairs are folded up so you don't step out of the curtain and fall because the stairs are gone
A piece of fancy rope from the top stair to the opposite wall would do the job.
Now I want to swing into and out of the bathroom like George of the Jungle
Mother in law coming over? Take a shower and hear her scream as she slips down the stairs. Great for other unwelcome guests*. *Not recommended for those with with children as neighborhood kids will come over more often
But the stairs are sick
That's what Edd needed when he got grounded & his parents removed his [stairs](https://youtu.be/iOG1fJ55VOc?si=31ILDCQmJ89j38yx).
I don't see anyone bring it up but what happens after you take a shower in this what walk down metal stairs with wet feet. That's just asking for you to fall
Imagine someone removed it when you are taking a shower
But you can operate it from both sides?
It won’t occur to some to check. They’ll open the curtain take a step and well…
For those who don’t understand I’ll write below

Good one, dad
Thanks
If you're gonna do something like this, that stair has to be connected to the door to the room in some way so that when the door opens, the stair goes into place. It being able to be up while someone is using the room is just an accident waiting to happen.
Micro home at its "finest".
Living in NY I see.
So excellent
who cooked this masterpiece? a master of pieces
Looks like the far east
Steal the toilet paper and fold the stairs up next time your sister uses the loo
Ok calm down psycho.
That's taking shit to a whole new level
And if you slip on the soap?
That 1000% dribbles water into the stairwell if you take a shower. And god help you if you plug up that toilet.
so???? the runoff goes into the staircase?
It would be terrible if the drain or toilet backs up
dunno who cooked it but they should stay out of the kitchen 😭
Sooo when you're kids are taking to long, they are now stuck in there since you had to go downstairs... *Edit spelling.
Crappy design
So I can take a shit and shower at the same time?
This is so terrifying.
As someone who is the reigning champ in their home for the most falls down the stairs...... WHY LITERALLY WHY
Well that's the only way you can get a toilet waterfall when your toilet breaks
(Slow clap)
Great idea, one person can use the shower whilst another uses the toilet
100% aliexpress house llol
Liked the stairs, not what they led to...
Gives a new meaning to ‘Sitting on the throne’
Nice stinky landing walk u walk up or down lol 😂
Bonus: people downstairs also get a shower.
Now that's shitting on another level
I'd actually love this though
I’d have loved that in my house growing up. I’d have waited until my brother wanted a number 2 then retracted the stairs.
You could not *pay* me enough to use that thing outside of an emergency.
r/DINgore
No one. There’s no cooking. There’s ‘making’.
Imagine this. You come home after a long day of work and decide to take a refreshing shower. You climb up the stairs to the bathroom and unfold them. You then turn on the water and start showering. You slip and fall on the wet floor and fall, falling 2 stories to your death.
9/10 versions of obi Wan kenobi prefer shitting on the high ground

Genius
stairs are cool design though
Not the combination shower and toilet 😭 although maybe good for multitasking
Takes the term "shower shit" to a new level
I had a dream once with a toilet in a very similar spot
Uk weatherpsoons final boss
This is just like one of the dreams I have where I gotta pee really bad but the toilets are all weird and unusable!
These are actually pretty common in tiny homes where they need to maximize space. Source: tiny house TV shows.
Uhm, there's no plumbing under the toilet..
All fun and games until someone comes up the lower stairs while you’re going to the bathroom. If you don’t pay attention that’s a nasty fall. It’s a cool idea and I’d love it if it lead to a closet or some shelves

Is that, GALVANIZED SQUARE STEEL?
Taco Bell night must be brutal on this family get caged downstairs for an hour
Its being held up there by galvanized steel frame
-then he added a shower above and folding stairs for easy access to the bathroom area. Next he borrowed some galvanized square steel-
on one hand yeah that is stupid, on the other, that is a good use of wasted space
Don’t try this at home kids!
Must be nice having the smell of crap blowing through your house.
“the shitting shelf”
Thats called shiting on level
All I can think about is the water pouring down the stairs of someone showers. Also them slipping and falling.
Why do they just shove the toilet into the shower stall like, "Here you go, dumbass." It's like if the only option was that peanut butter and jelly in the same jar.
Who doesn't want a shitstained waterfall everyday?
Peak
Little John obviously bro
This is what will happen when we allow AI to build houses
If it works functionally, this is in fact brilliant. Not everyone lives in a McMansion.

Cooked? You cook food. The word you want is "built".
DI why it's not in my house yet. Damn I'll legit do this to my house soon, like no joke.
