134 loroba

something in the 1st floor bathroom of a 1860s chapelfieldian terrace seems to have had some leak – one day it all went down to ground floor. the collapsed extension was replaced by a single-storey annex, kitchen & bathroom, in the early 1980s.

universal design [here: bathroom/tub] for elisabeth: does it have to be one of them ridiculously over-prized systems, whose prizes refer exclusively to the max the health insurances are willing to pay when it comes to de-barrierifying sanitary units?
positively not!
we developed an a) easy fittable/customizable, b) low impact, c) low cost strategy, lending the easy-to-shape eps/xps topped with fiber-re-inforced resin strategy from the surfboard-industry, its surface analoguely waxed for perfect grip.

the, now exposed, lower part of the wall formerly covered by the bathtub is waterprotected with the means of flat-roof-construction: roofing membrane pressed to the prefabricated shower-unit and just pressed to the wall when on site.
job done in a day. Continue reading

die weiterentwicklung der badewanne vom eher pragmatischen wasserbehältnis hin zur uteralen höhle. das herstellungsverfahren ist dem surfboardbau entlehnt, ein durchgestringerter hartschaum-kern, mit glasfaser-armiertem kunststoff laminiert, topcoat, feinschliff. in einer anderen ausführungsform, ist das ei aus hartgeöltem balsa gearbeitet. he’e nalu!

ein kleineres bauvorhaben: ein badezimmer von 2,50 x 2,50 meter. die allgegenwärtige g’schamige installationswand kommt hier in zwei abarten vor: zur linken, eine lendenschurzhafte schwebende schale, an der wc und waschbecken andocken, in der spülkasten, badezimmerschrank, illumination und ein eingezogener spiegel platz finden. und die rohre sieht man bisserl raushängen. zur rechten stopfen wir die wanne in die wand.
