The Design

About Versus Baño

Nuestra vida es una búsqueda interminable de placer y comodidad. Todos intentamos encontrar el mejor equilibrio entre funcionalidad y diseño y si queremos que el producto sea económico eso lo hace aún más difícil. Con mi baño cerrado intentaba encontrar exactamente este equilibrio. Combina nuevos enfoques y tecnologías para aumentar la eficiencia, ahorrar agua y materiales y, al mismo tiempo, todas estas cosas buenas se esconden debajo de un diseño audaz, monolítico y extravagante.

Production Technology
Live tests will allow us to understand which material will be better - Ceramic or Acrylic. Maybe other materials will be tested too.
Design Challenge
Maintain the original V-shape during technical and ergonomic transformations.
Research
During the CAD build a lot of fluid analysis were studied, a specialist was asked for consultancy.
Inspiration
The very first idea was to create something that has shape of the first letter of my name - V (the profile of the wc and the shape of internal tank). It was eventually changed because of functional reasons.
Project Duration
Almost one year, location - Bulgaria, Europe
Operation Flow
This close-coupled WC have tilted tank which allows the water to flush out easily than traditional 90 deg tanks. This modification increases the velocity, presure and force of the water. The WC also have 3 flush volumes which allow to use water more efficient.
The puzzle type seat and cover allow to reduce unnecessary overlaping which saves material.
