[QUOTE]For many people, the idea of dangling over a vast lift shaft is terrifying enough.But for the owners of this incredible penthouse, it is something they will have to endure every time they sit on their toilet.
As these stunning pictures show, the bathroom of the new home is situated on top of an unused 15-storey elevator shaft.
When the owners carry out simple everyday tasks, such as using the toilet or brushing their teeth, they will be able to look down through the glass floor to the bottom of the shaft.The luxury penthouse is situated on top of a 1970s Mexican colonial building in Guadalajara, México.
The interior of the home was designed by architects Hernandez Silva Arquitectos.
According to [URL="http://www.thisiscolossal.com/"]thisiscolossal.com[/URL], the architects said: 'A characteristic feature of the project is that a volume that was originally intended for a second elevator, and was never installed, becomes a powder room with a glass floor that looks down all the 15 levels.
'The PPDG penthouse is a great versatile modulated space, with great views and all this with the concepts of transparency and the simplicity of materials.'
The structure of the penthouse is based on columns and slabs which mean the architects could take out the walls and create more space with large windows installed.
Spaces in the house can be divided into night and day use.
Moveable screens have been installed to allow the night space to be divided into one or two bedrooms.

Well shit, I'm high (up).
Constipation aid
Well that would certainly help me empty EVERYTHING from my bowels into that toilet.
They should do this on airplanes too

No thanks.

Makes it even more special to shit over the capital of your country (for example)
If they put that in planes, they should be prepared for me when I go in there and then scream "Bombs Away" every time I flush.
Then the glass breaks and you die shitting.

I hear the glass is stronger than the floor itself.

Reminds me of this Dr. McNinja comic.
Does the shit fall down the shaft? Because that would be AWESOME.
That would be awesome if farts could echo down the shaft.
Need this in the new Hitman game!

I was hoping for this too but I think the reality is that would be a health hazard and is probably banned.
Maybe they could just make some sort of system where some clean tap water falls into the pit whenever you flush, to simulate the real thing.
e: the thread title should say "luxury shithouse"

take a look at the position of the mask and his eyes
If the waste did go directly to the shaft, it'd be so weird... an interval of silence and suddenly WHAM, a loud shitsplosion from the bottom of the shaft as your turd neatly flattens itself.

It'd be even weirder when the guy finds out everyone whose apartments border the shaft died of methane poisoning.
When I first saw that image, I thought the pit's depth was just a illusion done by mirrors. But it actually is that far down. Huh.

First ask why there are pirates, Ben Franklin, and a go damned ninja in a plane before that.
Also you can't wear masks in planes

Just like our dear leaders
Oh god I'd probably shit myself. Thank god there's a toilet there.
Fuck a whole lot of that.
Almost as cool as the water slide in that wardrobe.
And almost as late :v:
If you pee on the floor, better wipe it up and windex it before the next person sees.
That is some deep shit right there.
imagine looking down there one night and seeing someone looking back up at you
oh the horror~
