The Eco side of the Street

Designer Yeongwoo Kim created this Eco Urinal where men can pee and wash in the same stand. What 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, the same gray water can be used to cleanse the urinal basin.

A number of SRO hotels around town have a much older, but similar feature. The room's sink is installed much lower than usual, 28" off the floor, to facilitate male customers who can't pull it together to walk down the hall. Just a bit of random urban lore that may explain something someday.
