The Toilet-Shaped House has a very unique design, and was built by Sim Jae-duck, the chairman of the organizing committee of the Inaugural General Assembly of the World Toilet Association, and he hopes his toilet house will highlight the global need for better sanitation.. The Toilet-Shaped house is in fact named Haewoojae, which signifies in Korean “a place of sanctuary where one can solve one’s worries“. Sim Jae-duck will open what is billed as the world’s one and only toilet house on November 11 to mark the launch of his World Toilet Association.
The steel, white concrete and glass house, with a symbolic opening in the roof, will be ready to receive visitors next month, said the World Toilet Association in a statement. The house is a 419sq m structure with two bedrooms, two guestrooms and other rooms, the two-storey house of course features three deluxe toilets. Unlike the giant “toilet” in which they are located, they will not be see-through affairs. If you would like to visit this house you can go to Sim Jae-duck native city of Suweon, 40km south of Seoul.

I never thought a toilet shape could look so appealing.
Matt
Great find! What a sense of humor.
Not great Feng Shui!!
Rubish!!!
Not great Feng Shui….but INCREDIBLE Dung Phew!
I understand it was built next to a dump.
looks like crap, jk
I wonder if the toilet looks like a house?
what a crappy lookin’ house lolollolololololollololololoollolololollololl
Haha now that’s some interesting architecture
What a dump…
The family dog has got to be a…..shih tzu.
Wow! new idea.
Now the Jolly Green Giant will bhave a place to ponder……
Luckily this is just a house.
In Singapore, we’re gonna get a Golden Toilet Bowl for a national stadium…
http://www.mrbrown.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/03/29/toiletbowlstadium.jpg
That place is a dump.
It’s a crappy house.
So does that mean you can crap anywhere in the house?
It’s very unusal not bad.
The house actually looks nice from the sides. The upper deck is awsome but the whole tiolt look I do not like. Anyone know what direction all the windows are facing?
Good idea, but the hole is too small
Great house… Would be nicer if it was bigger.
There needs to be a pool in the opening
You should only live there if your flush with cash….
holy crap !! what a strange looking house !!!!!!!!!!
Although the house may not be appropriate for ’some’ people to live in. The architecture is Brilliant! And such an interesting mind he has for even putting together such a display! That shows Leadership…. Determination…. Drive… BRAVO TO YOU!!!
Pay no attention to the shallow comments made… Most people tend to hate on what they cannot have, create, of think of for themselves..
You need to put apool in the middle on top and a toilet lid shaped covering, or shade
The facilities should be damn impressive, all things considered.
now i can take a dump anywhere in my very own home
I guess they didn’t need port-o-potties when they built it.
Looks a bit like the front of a ship… :/
I bet he dropped a load of cash.
interesting. but everbody know that thinks in toilet is not good. so who want live in it?
I never would have thought of a toilet for a design of a house. Pretty cool!
I wonder if it will attract aliens. “Just a parsec, Gzork. I need to make a pit stop.”
interesting. made me think of a shit-shaped house as well hehehe… kidding aside, it’s unique and beautiful!
I wonder if God is relieving himself on this house when it rains?
Is the front door on the inside while the garage exits from the back?
i read most of the comments but i dont agreed with them cause i think this is the bomb,fantastic and great ideas…
just a sexy idea …toilet r cool place to relax …so why houses r in toilet shape bother any one????
Just goes to show ya that it must cost a shit load of $ to live like the tidy bowl man.
“Anyone know what direction all the windows are facing?”
Looks like “OUT” to me.
FATTT IM FAT ANT I need a toilet tht big! MILLLSHEy
So, where’s the lid? A woman won’t live there without a lid.
THATS AN AWESOME HOUSE I WONDER HOW IT STAYS CLEAN!!!LOL
The only thing I have to say is anyone who decided to make a joke out of this, I hope your toilet breaks and the plummers are all on strike! If developing countries had clean water and sanitation 90% of the world’s diseases would disappear over night.
Flush that through your scatilogical thinking….
He forgot to landscape with yellow flowers around the front…reminisant of your typical public toilet surrounded by a puddle of pee.
Ahhhhh, now that’s realism!
The owner could have atleast put a first floor deck in the center painted aquablue with BIG BROWN TURD sized Bean Bags!
It is fascinating though! He is BRILLIANT and INSPIRATIONAL. I like it! It’s differant. How many times has the pizza delivery man gotten lost looking for a home in a housing development because of only 3 or 4 styles of homes in the whole developement.
I give him 4 lids up!
And I thought my place was a dump….
PS: Kate: Get a sense of humor. If you can’t find humor in life then you’ll be miserable for all of yours. Don’t lay it on the rest of us. Keep your guilt trips for the newspapers.
Its actually inspirational. Cleaning it would be a breeze. Just hit the flush handle (although THAT’S gotta be pretty big too. It may take 2 A-holes to flush it (LOL) get it? A-Holes?
Now the owner can be the “little man in the toilet bowl” guy just like on TV.
I think I’ll send him a Krappy Kard from those KrappyGifts.com people.
pretty cool.Do they have 50,000 different toilets in there because the news said they charge $50,000 per night.Why don’t they go ahead and make a house shaped like a toilet paper role, or better yet an ice cream
talk about a poo-poo fetish!
it looks lyk a ship not a bog
looks pretty cool although a little weird!
WOWWWWWWW THAT IS WELLL COOL..
I WANT ONE!
LUCY AND MELLL.. HAHAHHAAA
arrrr mann!!!! this house is sick!!!! i want one!!! =]]
i think it is nice i would definatly livi in there!!!!”
I don’t think I’d want to live in that, I’d be too embarrassed to invite any friends over. It’s already bad enough that my father’s dreaming about extending the front balcony of our house so there’d be more room, but it would look funny as far as I’m concerned. But I’m not even sure if that’s ever going to happen. Either that or I’ll be well and truly moved out before that starts. Our house has been a blessing and I’d hate for it to become a laughing stock. However, if the owners of this house have kids I really feel for them.
We Love It..
i like yodels!!
we finks this is a banging house, i wud totally check my butt in , INIT!
btw the dog comment was off the hook!
hit me back biatch
WOW ur house looks like a tiolet!!
How much could you pay for a house like that? I’d put a wirlpool in the center.
a pice of art to be admired. flowing lines & gental shape.
this is a weird — house,but pretty cool. makes me think person built made — out of theirselfs,money down the tolit.unusual. ill give ya that.
new style and new taste but that is so funny figured house who would think of something like that
i think it a very intelligent and creative idea. for you people who think its stupid and outragous, get a sence of homour and take an art class
helooo.
