Hi !

We designed some french models supposed to fit all toilets : that is to say you don’t have to spend so much time and money replacing the existing toilet by another one, in order to simply add a sink function…

Name is WiCi Concept and website (with many pictures) is http://www.wici-concept.com/en/

The design of the wall monted model is really great, but the price is higher than the normal ones…
The smaller one is cheaper, and installation requires only 20 minuts !

We have recently bought a house with a toilet, only, plumbed in under the stairs. And as you can imagine the size of ‘under the stairs’ is very small and a basin will not fit, so today I’ve bought a Cooke and Lewis Duetto for £199 from B&Q as it meets all my sanitary requirements and will fit under the stairs. Can’t wait to have it fitted now!

Just bought the cooke and lewis Duetto toilet/basin in one. Perfect for a single WC, and no need for additional plumbing. Cost was £199.00.

You could definitely use this in a small bathroom, and it wouldn’t hurt to have a second sink in a larger bathroom…and of course the water savings is a plus for you and the environment.

I found it during my trip to Kyoto.
I was really surprising… look at this photo!

I think that’s not so comfortable but ecologic!

I also saw these in Japan more than 20 years ago. The Japanese version had a separate sink that was more conveniently located to the side and fed into the toilet. Worked great! I always wondered why we didn’t have them here.

I guess you could wash your hands while peeing – probably make more of a mess though.

Gunk from the sink should make the flush mechanism work real well!

I agree with the first comment. A silly idea altogether.

Finally!
I first saw toilets like this in Japan in the early 90′s, in addition, the Japanese models had a two-stage selective flush lever, small lever for #1, and big lever for #2. Just imagine how much water we could have saved???

I”ve seen this here in the Philippines. While I still think it’s a good idea, I think the faucet should be positioned at a right angle to the toilet bowl and like theauthor says, the sink should be bigger for me to consider doing away with a separate lav altogether.

I’ve seen these installed in a few homes. They sound like and good idea, and in theory they are, but on a practical level…they don’t work. They get the toilet and entire surrounding area wet and dirty because of water dripping everywhere after you wash your hands and the fact that the bowl size is smaller than a standard bowl. Also, most inspectors won’t pass these in a new construction.
