Hi all

Interesting design here; built in screening and washbasin combined.

I like it - even just having a mirror to look into would be a good thing, but having hand washing there too would help I think

What a brilliant design!
How clever to incorporate all those features in such a compact design. I hope it catches on.

I'm afraid I don't think much of the design of these urinals. They don't seem AP-friendly to me but more to the point they will not catch stray drips & splashes & will be surrounded by a mess of puddles. Ugh! Very "arty" but not practical. Geoff.BT.

Further, regarding urinal design - I have just visited a new Dobbies Garden Centre in the City of Lisburn & the Gents has a row of very ornate, brightly coloured urinals in the shape of flowers with curling petals,etc. There were a few "conventional" bowls as well.I had to return to use these rather weird but beautiful urinals (once the coast was clear, that is)and found it difficult to go at first - not due to AP as such - but because it felt like desecrating art!

I really like those new designs, maybe it will encourage men to actually wash their hands after going?! I aggree with Geoff regarding stray drips, but no different from a trough I guess.

From an AP point of view, the mirror wont help as you will feel more exposed being able to see behind you/people seeing you and if people are washing their hands next to you, it means that they are there for longer (not good if you cant get it started etc)

I guess you could turn the tap on to help you get started.... what do you do if you only came in to wash your hands/look in the mirror?

Very clever design, not so sure I personally like it though. Imagine a row of these in a night club, some drunk would end up peeing in the space between urinals......
