Haewoojae

Haewoojae ( 해우 재 , also Mr. Toilet House ) may be the only building in the world that has the shape of a toilet . It was the home of Sim Jae-Duck in Suwon , South Korea , who is very committed to the spread of hygienic sanitary facilities, because millions of people worldwide die every year from infections caused by inadequate sanitary facilities. Haewoojae is a two-storey villa made of steel and glass with a floor area of ​​419 square meters, which was built in 2007 for the equivalent of 1.1 million euros. After Sim Jae-duck's death in 2009, the house was converted into a museum.
