Stylish Grey Water System from Harris A
Water conservation is beginning to take on a whole new look with Harris A’s recent entry into the Reece Design Competition. This new bathroom design concept collects the water the has been used to wash your hands in the bathroom sink and recycles it to flush the toilet. Both sink and toilet will be directly connected so that water can drain from the sink to a tank where it waits to be used when the toilet is flushed.
Later models might include incorporating diverted laundry water to flush toilets. Harris A’s goal is not to recycle all the water in the home system but rather to take water from a relatively clean usage and use it to clean dirtier water. The design is flexible and allows many different configurations. Although the images depict the sink placed directly behind the toilet, pipes can be placed to fit a more traditional bathroom design.
The Reece Bathroom Innovation Award is recognized as one of the most exciting and lucrative design competitions in Australia. In its fourth year, the competition offers design professionals and students the opportunity to explore and shape the bathrooms of tomorrow.
