How to Use an Extra Elevator Shaft
Filed under: Cool Projects — Tags: — nedpelger

If you find yourself renovating a building with an extra elevator shaft, what are your options? Some quirky spiral stairs? Lots of floors with small rooms with off-set firemen’s poles? How about a toilet?

Found on Interior Design and Inspirational Homes, this toilet room located in an old elevator shaft would encourage bowel looseness. That is to say, a sit down would likely scare the crap right out of you.

Designed by Hernandez Silva Arquitectos and located in Guadalajara, Jalisco, México, this penthouse on a 1970s 15 story building inspires.

The living room looks fantastic

and the balcony view works.

Oddly enough, we have some weirdly similar design challenges coming up in the next few months, so I’m motivated to see this design done so well. I love to see really good work.
