Best Use of Space:
After designing small bathrooms in NYC for years, I've always wondered why they don't make these slim toilets w. sinks and sinks here (above); they've been around for at least a few decades in Japan. And in looking for a photo, I found the slim sink (only protrudes 3 7/8" from the wall)!
Boy could I have used this in a few of my projects.

Where can you get that little 3.5" depth sink?! It's perfect for my UBER-tiny bathroom!

Japan is known for its bathroom design from fixtures to layout. Many professional designers specialize in bathrooms.
