Another mundane thread ......
Saw some projt, mm mainly,
there are no window opening in the washrm aka toilet area.
Wouldnt it stink ?
Mm units must be livable, cant be built like foreign worker dorm rite?.
Yo forumer, any experience or projt that has toilet or kitchen without window, pls share.
like hotel toilet? actually i do not mind cause i will then have more window area for bedrooms and layout possibility can be better.
Can always install an extractor fan. to pipe it out.
Some old HDB flats have no window in the toilets.:DQuote:

But probably weather is damn cold half of the year.. so people do not want the toilet anywhere near the windows when they are Stark naked..
I lived in one for a year but never smell since the extractor will take it out (centralised system for the whole building). But Summer time... if you do not have teh aircon on.. you will be sweating like pigs when you take a poo inside an enclosed cubicle .
Then it look ok, except maybe higher elec bill.
But exhaust does not provide ventilation, may be stuffy...
Unless the bathroom is air tight, when the foul/damp air is being extracted fresh air should flow in through the gaps of the door.Quote:

Surprised can be approved. Toilet may get mouldy easily.Quote:

Deleted repeated post. The message can be read below.
Wrong info about Beacon Heights' 1+1 667 sq ft unit. Both toilet and study room have windows without a/c ledge n bay window. Both windows are half the length of the wall; they are sliding windows and made up of 2 panels each.Quote:
