Look at this, why did Americans decide to combine the toilet, bathroom and washroom all in one room?
Me I(
) like the British way where the toilet is separate from the bathroom and the washroom area for washing face and hands is also separate! The American decided to merge these critical rooms in one bay hence no one in the family can sh*t while the other one is showering and the third guy washing his face!!!!
Then again the American decided to merdge the kitchen with the Sitting room, eti open kitchen (shiet)...if you are frying Omena all the visitors clothes will be smelling Burukenge by the time dinner is served!!!
Wapi @a4archetecture???
@impunity, with the rising cost of construction, architects try to solve the issue by
1. combining rooms together eg kitchen, dinign, livingroom and tiolet/bathroom.
This way, people living here dont feel claustrophobic and squeezed.
2. having fewer but larger bedrooms
This is the new trend as opposed to having separate kitchen, dinign, living rooms and toilet/bathrooms that look smallish.
Its a matter of the individual house owner's choice to work with their architect and see what is good for them. If someone plans to have a larger family and live in visitors, then smaller, private rooms are more appropriate.
The current trend is small families with few visitors hence more and more american style kitchens and toilet cum bathroom as the shilling gets saved.
