The first image on the top shows the area where the water is released, this is not touch sensitive but more of a sonar like technology where your position is bounced back.

All you’d have to do to apply shampoo is just to step out from under the area where the water jets are.

As for the balancing act, although this is purely a conceptual design, I’m sure that the touch sensitive panels would not need the whole weight of your body to register a choice between hot and cold. It’s not too difficult to redistribute pressure between your feet when you’re stood up, think of it more that if your weight is 50/50 between the panels then you would have warm water.

You have started a very interesting discussion on bathroom design. I’m a cabinetmaker who really does not want to make kitchens and bathrooms for a living, because the most of what is done in the US is just boxes with a “choice of doors and drawer fronts,” the most of which are made in a factory somewhere. Boring. I want to do something else if I can, but what?

European design just absolutely blows my mind, and I find myself reading quite a bit on it, even though these are often modular kitchens and bathrooms that one would simply send away for and have installed by a local craftsman. But what fascinates me is the utter innovation of those designs, so I find myself returning to them quite a bit.

I am also looking to design two bathrooms and a kitchen for my wife in too-small spaces in a tract home, which necessarily lets out those wonderful European designs that excite me so. And whenever I find myself going out on a limb with some idea or another, my wife always grounds me by saying, “If you stick with the classics, you won’t grow tired of them.”

So, what do you do that is different and yet timeless and practical and stimulating to make if you’re a cabinetmaker? Damned if I know, but if I ever figure it out, I mean to make it for us and splash those babies all over the Internet!

What you’ve written, though, has given me quite a bit to think about, and I thank you for sharing your concepts.

So how does this Re:bathe toilet flush system work? Is there a storage tank for the “grey water” from the bath to use on the toilet later or do you only get to fill your toilet tank once per bath/shower?
