Winner of the 2009 Design Plus Award for its innovation and sustainability, the Roca W + W (wash basin + water closet) is as eco-friendly as it is good looking. Designed by the Roca Innovation Lab and Italian architects Gabriele and Oscar Buratti, the W+W fuses a washbasin and lavatory into a single piece and applies new Roca “Reusing Water” technology.
This new technology reduces water consumption by 25% when compared with standard dual-flush toilets by re-using water from the washbasin to fill the lavatory cistern. It also employs for the first-time an automatic cleansing system which prevents bacteria and odors from entering the water cistern.

What an excellent idea. How much does it cost and where can they be bought? Are they difficult to plumb in?

This just HAS to be the Buck Rodgers toilet featured in Alan Partridge’s new house — “One yank – gone!”
