Wash hands and the used water flows into the tank so you can flush your toilet with it. No waste, absolute convenience. That drawer is a pretty little mildew pit and leak generator.

The faucet was attached to the sink and folded in flush with the wall. You wouldn't know it was there unless someone showed you. I've been trying to figure out how to do it in RL.

(Could just be the old houses I've always lived in, though...) I wouldn't want to always have a wet spot on the floor. Plus, I agree with others' comments about hitting the faucet when the sink was "put away", and how the interwall space needed for the sink would be significant. But I agree that it looks like a Firefly-esque contraption. :) My first thought was that it would be drippy…I know faucets aren’t *supposed* to be, but I feel like at the very least there are always a few drops left in the spigot once you’ve turned the water off.

I would love a sink like this in our guest bath. I'm just not sure we could afford the renovation. @Maria Yay for the Firefly reference! I would love a sink like this in our guest bath.

I love putting things away and making a room look less cluttered, but sinks in bathrooms? They really should be accessible...

And yes, it would be cooler if the faucets retracted into the wall too! Cool, but I suppose the sink slides back into space that is probably taken away from a closet.

Right now they're being used in my kitchen. I don't think this is a good idea. Like Spencer said, it isn't really saving space but increasing wall thickness. Also, you would have to waterproof the inside of you wall. @infmom Actually, modern plumbing incorporates flexible plastic tubes. Right now they’re being used in my kitchen.
