Bare Necessities: Subaco by Spiritual Mode

Alicita Rodriguez - August 10, 2012

In terms of space, culture largely defines our needs—and desires. If you ever watch House Hunters International, then you know that Americans like everything BIG. Most transplants to Europe or Asia will complain that their furniture won’t fit, and some too-tall gentlemen will complain that they themselves won’t fit. So it’s no surprise that compact, multi-purpose designs often hail from far away continents. This is the case with Subaco by Japanese bathroom company Spiritual Mode—a combination bathtub, toilet, washbasin, kitchen, laundry, and loft!

Sanitary Unit Combines Bathroom, Kitchen, Laundry, and Loft

In a space measuring only 2 x 2 meters (approximately 6.5 square feet), Subaco provides space for “washing, eating, and resting,” transforming a modest footprint “into an exciting area to enjoy and relax in.” Reminiscent of Russian nesting dolls and Asian puzzle boxes, Subaco fits all the required components of daily life into a self-contained compartment. Ideal for Parisian flats and Manhattan apartments, Subaco makes limited interior room seem plentiful.
