Called the Vertebrae, it stacks a toilet, sink, water cistern and two showers into one 8ft-tall steel column.
It has a price tag of £9,000 and is aimed at space-conscious householders who struggle to fit a traditional shower, sink and toilet into their bathroom space.
The Vertebrae is the brainchild of award-winning designer Paul Hernon, of Huddersfield, who created it with small apartments in mind.

At £9000, I don't think so. Pretentious I think. If you've got that sort of money to spare you should be living in house with a bigger bathroom. Anyway, if want to use the shower you would have to stand in the toilet. Otherwise you would require it to be fitted in a wet room. This would make it even more expensive.I can afford anything that I want.
Just so long as I don't want much.0 -
it does look like you would actually need quite a big bathroom to be able to fit it and use it properly - but it is quite clever. I once saw a toilet that had a basin built into the top of it that was designed for tiny cloakrooms, I think that is a good idea too.0

Where's the bath?

It's a jacuzzi. Stand in toilet & flush. Repeat

good observation, it seems that a wet room would be essential. discount time:Tit does look like you would actually need quite a big bathroom to be able to fit it and use it properly - but it is quite clever.
It could be placed in a corner (and still function).0 -
Could get a little confusing when you come home from the pub having had a few pints and need a p*ss."You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0

Yes, it was a sort of a joke, about standing in the toilet. However the rest of my post was exactly what I think. If this installation is being sold as a space saver then it is being miss-sold.I can afford anything that I want.
