Whoa! Men To Pee and Wash In The Same Stand!
I’m not a man so I really don’t know how comfortable you guys are going to be with this thought…peeing and washing hands in the same urinal stand! What Designer Yeongwoo Kim has done is incorporated the wash basin just above the spot you take aim to pee. The reason cited is that you’ll save a water flush cycle, coz when you rinse your hand after the job (I hope you guys do that!), the same gray water can be used to cleanse the urinal basin. Tell me, how many of you guys will be comfortable with this? For once, my opinion doesn’t count, but I do find it funny!
Eco Urinal is an iF Concept Design 2010 winning entry!
Patent Pending : 30-2010-0009743
To save water, Eco Urinal is designed to use the water that was used for washing hands to flush the urine. By this process, we don’t have to use water twice after using the urinal. Moreover, it reduces the establishment expenses by optimizing the materials. Upper space of this urinal is made with glass, and it helps to secure a clear view for users. It also promotes people to keep their sanitation because people need to wash their hands to flush the urine after use.

This one just cracks me up! LOL but in all honesty I like the idea very much and it does make eco-sense
Lasse says
Best idea I've seen on here yet and the most realistic aswell
Wesley Jordan Anthony Baker says
This is more space efficient than having urinals and seperate sinks, you could get more of the same units into the same space. I also like the idea as theres so many guys that don't bother to wash their hands after urninating and hopefully with it right in front of them it might encourage this ignorant people to wash their hands.
Mito says
'this ignorant people'…get an education lol
sir says
it should be these ignorant people.. check yourself before you try to check someone else.LOL
Jose Lopez-Serrano says
I really like the concept BUT is one of those things were you have to separate the kitchen from the bathroom (you know what I mean?). I really wouldn't wash my hands were i just urinate there has to be some source or separation other than a piece of glass lol. Hmmm maybe at home but not on a public restroom.
Kai says
Speaking as a guy, I have no issues with peeing and hand-washing in the same spot. What makes me a bit uncomfortable is peeing in front of the mirror …
davemmett says
haha that was my thought too. If the mirror was angled up it might be ok though. I think this concept is genius.
bob says
Brilliant idea ^__^
I don't see why it would made someone uncomfortable?
Alexi says
If you happen to accidentally look at someone else's mirror, or vice versa, someone's eyes might pop.. so angling it up might help. Great idea! Just don't look sideways! =)
hpi says
this is great !
I'm just afraid that some guys will pee in the wash basin..
Johan De Bruyn says
This is really awesome! It wouldn't bother me in any way. Let's not forget all the space you're winning too!
Dide says
it doesn't bother me at all, specially cause the urinol is going to be alaways clean… i think it's a GREAT idea. But there should be something separating the sink-urinols… as a man what i really find uncomfortable is having to pee beside other men…
mellow says
clever idea
Lude says
Clever indeed, but somehow it does make uncomfortable, because I think it must exist a separation.
And since most men are pigs when it comes to public bathrooms, you will always loose a cycle and the washing part will be filled with little drops of urin… Basically, after a while I would search for another bathroom…
But, this is problem of eachother and the people that uses the bathrooms, for small bathroom spaces, it´s a awesome idea.
For regular bathrooms… It works, but the normal concept does work better… For example, people don´t have to wait for you to wash your hands after it… Which I assume people would… ok… Maybe not… But I would flush before I did my… "thing".
Andre says
Stick this bathroom in a upscale hotel, user-side sanitary is no longer an issue.
Obefiend says
love it
no more excuse to not wash your hands after peeing chaps!
guest says
As long as the basin is high enough and the faucet is sensor activated.
Ah says
The only thing I can think that’s wrong with this is that it doesn’t cater well to very tall men without then having to squat or moving the basin up uncomfortably high.. Unless they just pee in the sink, but due to splashback, may not be the most hygienic idea for others to use after them.. But I like that you guys are thinking!
sss says
Nope, not gonna work. Most guys like tu grab our thing while we use it. Sorry.
Marc says
What does that have to do with this design? Hold it if you want. Fondle as you please. Just wash your hands when you're done.
Dado says
We can't multitask, end up pissing on my hands!!!!
Brandon says
Assuming the concept is hygienic, the space it saves is negated by the extended wait-factor. Stall-users will still need to occupy a urinal to simply wash their hands, and those simply wishing to wash their hands will also occupy a urinal. Fine for a low traffic venue, but a concert or sporting event would quickly compound the wait time for bathroom/hand washing, eventually encouraging congestion in the stalls as well. And its gross.
basin_bomber says
I like, very hygenic IMO. unless people attempt to shit in the basin
Martin says
You really don't get it…
If you are in a concert or sporting event, and you have X urinals and Y basins, with this concept, you have X+Y urinals AND X+Y basins. It just depends on the users what to do at the stand at a given time. But no matter what, you need to assume that people will urinate first and then wash up. So… this means more of both for everybody. In low traffic, and in high traffic venues.
I find the concept simply brilliant.
Martin says
Ostia!! Ok im a bit pis-shy, but this is descusting! I would feel just like washing my hands in the Urinal.. Today im ashamed of being a guy, if we generaly are that discusting, ecofriendly or not.
Lasse says

Michel S says
A very cool idea! Saving space, time and water! Definitely a go for me…

mif991 says
In the layout, there is hardly any room between urinals, unless you are skinny. Still, if this system is used by any public building, there would be no other option – i'd have to use it. I like the waterless urinals better for the eco savings.

Jonathan says
Looks good to me! Regarding all the comments about peeing in the sink – how tall are you guys? Did you look at the picture? I don't know about others, but I tend to aim down, not up, so peeing in the sink would have to be completely deliberate.
That said, I do think that some physical separation would be good. Maybe the sinks can be off the side and still divert the gray water to the urinals.
Daniel says
I like the idea. I guess one would need to see if the health department would buy off but I like the concept of the grey water being used for the flush, plus hey, hint – hint to the guys who don't always wash.

consortiamarketing says
I like the idea. Great! Terrific saving on space too!
hypertraders says
So if someone pukes, will it also go down the urinal? how about soap residues? or oil and other chemicals residue from fixing the broken car? Also, how about those who really really just don't wash their hands after peeing reddish urine?
Tbh, I think this design is better than those waterless urinals. But only if it also have flush, wherein you just step on it and it should automatically flush; or sensor activated. And only if the basin faucet is automated.
Lasse says
… oil and other chemicals residue from fixing the broken car? – I think its to be used in public places and btw if thers some pee down there you just wash it away when YOUR washing your hands ? Whats the big deal peeing in someone else pee?

Dmo says
I agree with everyone that thinks this a bad idea and I think that everyone that thinks this is a good idea is not really thinking through the whole scenario.
Pee on shoes! Pee in sink! Nastiness everywhere!
Look, I can brush my teeth and pee at same time ! Pain to clean
It's just plain weird and it wont really save much water.
I guarantee in user testing people will leave the sink on cause they'll try to be washing that last pubic hair down that is stuck in the corner.
jke says
Exactly.
Plus: the design isn't smart enough.
a) too much splashing due to the hydraulic design (too flat)
b) there's no space for the outlet on the floor + no siphon
c) no space (in the wall maybe?!) for the water tap
Andre says
in response to point "a", as that is the only thing I can contest, it depends on the faucet.
See here how the water flow itself can reduce splash:
http://s3files.core77.com/blog/images/luxury-Sink...
http://www.gamegirladvance.com/zine/200307play/im...
I couldn't find one that was tilted, but if you have water flow that doesn't have all of those bubbles in them and isn't high pressured, then there is no problem there.
but as for "b" and "c", for "b" I'm not sure what you mean, and for "c" i feel like it's safe to assume the necessary plumbing is in the wall. There are lots of wall mounted urinals, I'm not sure if that's the term but you know the kind i'm sure.
Lasse says
1. If pee on the "wall" it wont splash since it just follow the "wall" and slides down
2. Pee in sink? The sink is a piece of glass that would make the pee slide down anyway + you have to be rather tall to pee there according to the pictures
3. You really brush teeth in public places?
4. If it got world wide it would save a lot of water!
5. It should be sensor controlled wash thingies

Cesar says
This idea is good in theory, bad in execution. No guy wants their johnsons just hanging out there and it's embarrassing to come up and cradle the thing, not to mention the splash back, it's a filthy idea. There's absolutly no privacy.
Lasse says
You could just go the "Normal" toilets , where you shit as well, with your LITTLE Johnson – i see nothing embarrassing in peeing beside another man?
ADD says
Great concept….
The pee area should be rectangular opening with just consideration of designed for all. (not so big area)
That slant given at Pee area should be in the opposite direction..
bbb says
A great idea assuming that all men bother to aim for the urinal but as we all know that isn't necessarily so. From an eco-view, it's a great idea. From a realistic, cleanliness idea – NO GO. Germ-wise, sanitary-wise – I wouldn't trust it.
bubbagrump says
good try, but that's just gross.
i don't know about ya'll, but every public urinal i've ever seen has splash residue and dried accumulation all around the area, even after they've been cleaned. what about evaporation and vaporization? the whole underside of that glass would be coated with accumulated urine. the slot where the water runs down could easily allow material upwards as well.
and what's up with that shelf?!
Lasse says
Well the idea is really good i think – just replace the piece of glass and I'm positive it wouldn't splash unless you have one hell of a pee-beam
Guest says
This will be great until someone decides to "pee where you wash". As we all know it only take one inconsiderate idiot to make the washroom a mess. It will happen.

Crom says
This is great, just great. I love it. An all around improvement. Space saving and water saving, fantastic. As long as it's a touchless faucet, meaning that I don't have to worry about turning a handle that someone may have urinated on, this is perfect.

karl says
Hold on guys, I am just gonna pop into the men's and quickly brush my teeth. Even if it was hygienic, you can't really do this without someone's trouser snake saying howdy to you. Meaning you still have to have normal faucets/basins which negates sapce saving.
fantan says
I think this is a great idea for public restrooms, especially high-traffic areas like schools, malls, airports, etc. Can you even imagine just how much water those places use? Something like this would hopefully halve the ammount men in those areas use alone and they're total space-savers. Now, these aren't that great of an idea for the home in my opinion, just because well.. where would you crap? I mean, these are great for public restrooms because they promote a cleaner restroom for everyone to share and save space, but in a home where usually restrooms are made to accomodate one person at a time (not to say there aren't people who like to share the love, I don't judge) and so to have 2 different means of waste disposal in one room is a bit anti-productive as far as space saving goes, doesn't it? Maybe if you've got a mancave in the basement and just want a unique bathroom for your bros to admire on football sunday, sure, but for a typical home, these seem inconveniant.
fantan says
cont… The only other problem is what if the sink breaks or clogs up? Then there's nothing to flush the pee away. Not many would take the time to gather water from another sink and manually wash the piss of the wall, would they? I mean, hell, there are already enough lazy bums not flushing all together in public toilets. If a sink is broken and there's no notice, do you realize how much piss residue will accumulate on the wall before it's repaired? There should probably be a backup flush option in case the sink does fail. Also, there's nothing to catch something that's not water. Rings, for instance. Maybe there should be some sort of cage along the inner edge of the glass, so that water can pour through but anything bigger than the holes can't fall through. I do love the idea though. I'm not trying to hate on the idea at all, I would love to see these sorts of things realized, but I just think there are a few things that need perfecting. Also… there needs to be a female version of somthing neat like this
simon says
Hi Korean, I think it is a good idea, but it's a not your original idea,
as you know,in Japan, they have designed the same idea in many tears ago,
Aman says
This design is also similar to the Onda Urinal concept: http://www.2dayblog.com/2008/06/10/onda-urinal-co...
But the washing area and the urinal are better separated here.
Steven says
I love the idea but if this desing are for publics bathrooms i could not wash my hands in there.. sorry guys but im sure that somebody could find nice to pee the wash basing. So if its for houses, great but for publics.. NOP… See ya..

Rahul Thakur says
Amazing idea… Doesn't bothers me da least…love it
I'll just suggest that the sink's glass should be opaque (no one wants to see the colour of their urine today..!!)….. n that da faucet should be sensor activated,especially in the public washrooms..

Guest says
You could flush existing urinals with gray water just by collecting drained graywater from existing sink drains into a holding tank. you would need a pump do elevate the drained water back up to the top of the urinal though… so this is more efficient but seems to give a slight feeling of uneasiness… social context?
bruce says
Very simple and smart design. Would love to build a prototype of it.
Enrique says
We had about 20 years ago a toilet tank cover that had a built-in faucet like a drinking fountain that used water from the supply valve. When you flushed the toilet the water made the fountain and you washed your hands AFTER you flush. After that the water ran into the tank ready for the next flush AND washing your hands.

You could flush existing urinals with gray water just by collecting drained graywater from existing sink drains into a holding tank. you would need a pump do elevate the drained water back up to the top of the urinal though… so this is more efficient but seems to give a slight feeling of uneasiness… social context?
bruce says
Very simple and smart design. Would love to build a prototype of it.
Enrique says
We had about 20 years ago a toilet tank cover that had a built-in faucet like a drinking fountain that used water from the supply valve. When you flushed the toilet the water made the fountain and you washed your hands AFTER you flush. After that the water ran into the tank ready for the next flush AND washing your hands.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the middle glass will Kick my belly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
also i seen a japanese dessign to use wash-hand-water to fill a toilet tank…..it is design in 20 years ago!!!!
bigjon says
problems:
1. I don’t want my hands anywhere near someones piss. (do a google search for “bacteria”)
2. The piss stream is strong and will shoot far up and over into the hand area.
3. Children/little people will not be able to reach the top to wash their hands and will fall into the piss.
4. I am tall and will piss in the top layer.

If they do use this, at least make privacy borders, and preferably larger ones than our current ones that barely do anything. And it better help splashback, I use toilets all the time since otherwise the janitor's job is worse.
It's a good idea, but it seems very open, and if this reduces all sinks then we have to stand at the toilet to use the sink which would be gross when you can tell some idiots have already used it.

I think itʻs a great IDEA but bad design. Why are they square/rectangular??? Donʻt men know that a stream of liquid from your penis tends to splash on a flat surface? I rarely see blatant funnel shaped urinals anywhere, where the stream hugs the urinal, hence no splashes! I think the sink basin idea is great but the whole unit needs to be separated from other units with barriers to give more privacy. How about modifying existing floor length urinals by adding an automated sink basin/soap dispenser attachment to the tops of the existing urinal? Just thoughts.

This is old. My sister has had a similar toilet in her house in Japan for many years.
It's perfectly hygienic and eco-friendly, and only squeamish people find it unpleasant to use.

nikhil natarajan says
wow, i like the idea…!
good one..!
dan says
thats just disgusting
some things are meant to be separated
andh says
For everyone saying that you will end up 'Peeing in the basement' that is rubbish. Who out of anyone here actually pisses in the basins? Unless you have freakyly large legs or just an eurgh to pee in the basin then this will not be a problem.
tlh says
I'm 6'4", and every sink in every public restroom I've been in is low enough for me to pee in without any effort. Meaning, I'd have to half-squat while peeing in a urinal that's lower than the standard sink height.
Also, a clear surface that doesn't get rinsed? It'll look very nasty in a short period of time (the bottom of the sink "basin" in the illustrations).

not everyone is that short, some men might be peeing in your sink…

Looking in the mirror, at least you can smile knowing you're not wasting several gallons of water to pee a few ounces…
I'd be pleased to use something like this.

Rags says
The concept is great but the form needs some work in order to function efficiently. With the current design the water can't possibly wash all the walls of the urinal, making odour a big issue.

Vic Stapel says
Naturally the water exit can be all along the
the width by making small hole all the way
BUT for the one washing the washbasins ( less of care taker joy maybe)
Greats men hygiene idea ever!
Space saver, wash hands right away
REMIND those not doing it in doing so
Shape could be a bit more biometric
we are not that square
even comes with anti SHOES splash guard
what more can a man want
Now how about the one who does not wash his hands
will there be a back up for those piggies to splash
the lower part ? I hope so..

I agree with Martin. The idea is brilliant and Brandon didn't really get it.
The only thing I would modify is the separation space between urinals. I would extend the metallic division between urinals to make shy people more comfortable when using the urinals. Congratulations indeed to the mind behind this idea.

Where can we buy them? We should be writing letters to all of our local/state/federal government schools, public buildings and military installations to install these things. Think of the hundreds of millions of gallons of water these would save. They would even pay back their remodeling cost pretty quickly
unKev says
very very nice idea! great job there!
Lmwodo says
there is absoulutly nothing wrong with this design…Except for the glass window and the spacing it would still have to be spaced a little more in ouder for the user to be comptorble and the glass is just unnesesary
Lmwodo says
srry 4 the type errors im tryin out a handwriting reconition program thats nt to good
