A lot of Asian homes don’t have a dedicated shower stall, as building spaces tend to be very limited.
Wet rooms are pretty common in Korea, and probably a lot of dense cities. The whole bathroom is treated as the shower, and there’s a drain in the center of the room.
Not saying I like it, but it’s not like this is some landlord special.
One of my old coworkers had an issue with that when he was visiting the US. He was at his hotel room and he did not put the shower curtain on the inside of the tub and basically did not even use it and went about showering all willy nilly. He finished up and there was a bunch of water on the floor and he kind of just assumed the drain was slow. The other person staying in the room from the US went into the bathroom and wondered why the fuck the shower curtain was on the outside of the tub. My coworker was from India and just thought the curtain was there to cover you if someone wanted to take a leak.
Cultural differences. Like the Korean ones, Indian bathrooms are generally designed to drain water from the whole floor, but instead of the center, the floor usually slopes down slightly to drain in a corner.
In the ones that do have a wet area - like in higher end hotels, there's usually a glass door as a separator.
I actually do like that feature. Thinking of doing it at my house. Would make cleaning so much easier. Get the removable shower head, spray everything down and just squeegie it to the drain.
Imagine moving in and then you get depression and eat like shit so you become too fat to reach the toilet and since you're a depressed mess with no self respect you grease up the walls so you can push yourself fatly to the toilet.
I would like to retract my previous statement about how I don't mind small toilets.
They went the extra mile and installed nice looking tiles on the floor, which is nice. Alternatively, they separated a bathroom with toilets and showed into two rooms, which is usually good, but this particular version could have used a revision.
This one has shower built in.

So you put one portal down the toilet, one portal on the bottom of the bucket, and boom. Infinite shower.
why
That's about as depressing a place as I've ever seen that has indoor plumbing.
“European style wet room”
I thought it was an appartement in Paris. I had friends who had a kitchen bathroomin this style, there.
That is… lovely.
264sqft?? You're paying almost $1000 per square foot...
In the city centre, the average price per square foot for apartments in Hong Kong is US$2,850
Outside of city centre, the average is US$1,876.
Ooofff that hurts 😵💫
Suddenly rent raises in the Midwest don't look that bad anymore.
Ooh, Hong Kong.
But also that's worse than NYC(?)
Depends where in New York. Condos in Manhattan are over $2000 a sq. ft. Brooklyn is less than $700 a sq. ft.
New Toronto Condos go for over $1000 a sq ft USD. Cities are expensive.
Ahh, I also dream about pooping and taking a shower at the same time ☠️
I’m not big at all and I’m pretty sure my shoulders are wider that that “room”. Lol. I would have to walk in at an angle.
"In your nightmare, you urgently have to go, but the toilet keeps receding away from you...."
You need to reverse into this toilet naked, all buttered up
That must be a nightmare to clean.
Assuming they even clean it
You think that's shadows?
It doesn't look like they do....
Looks like something out of Trainspotting
There is a wax ring, then 2 bolts that hold it down. Then hook up the water line.
You don't. You put the toilet in first, then you raise the walls!
Was gonna say the same thing
Toilet not suitable for Americans.
Wide load?
You mean the nation that doesn't even make the top ten when it comes to obesity?
"it's really bad but we're not the worst"
You realize my fat ass is never gonna leave that room without the fire department intervening, right?
Which opens the question: How would you get in in the first place?
I assume when they really have to shit they get it done somehow?
It's #11, and 1-10 are all teensy tiny countries.
With a lot of swearing
That plumber made up whole new swears while installing that toilet.
Imagine moving in and then you get depression and eat like shit so you become too fat to reach the toilet and since you're a depressed mess with no self respect you grease up the walls so you can push yourself fatly to the toilet.
Junji Ito is on the fediverse!?
I'll bet the plumber had to grease himself up to get in there and do that job.
Twink plumber
There's not even enough room to take off my shoes and socks.
Precision toilet
Nightmare fuel…. I’d feel as if the walls are trying to swallow me whole… without chewing!
TIL even the boogeyman needs to shit.
The great hall of Toilet

I would have tagged you but I couldn’t remember your username! It’s the toilet you always dreamed of!
I was trying to figure out how to wipe at all! Even if you stood all the way up, there's hardly room for your arm to reach around.
Looks like something you'd see in an SCP article
Easy! It's like a funnel, so you don't even have to line it up. Just throw it down there and bolt it down.
Single-aisle airplane toilets be like...
Oh hey! It's my toilet at work! Except ours has a sink you have to squeeze past to get to it.
Tell me you have never installed a toilet, without telling me you have never installed a toilet.
Free AIDS with every poop.
