The article discusses the challenges of living in small spaces in New York City, particularly highlighted by TikToker Emily Bonani's unique bathroom setup. She showcases what she claims to be the "smallest bathroom in New York City," featuring a toilet-sink hybrid that connects the flushing mechanism of the toilet to the water flow of the sink. While this design promotes water conservation, it poses inconveniences, as users cannot operate the sink independent of the toilet. This innovative yet quirky design is similar to concepts popular in Japan, reflecting on small living solutions in urban environments.
"It actually is the same action. Yup, the toilet flush activates the water flow from the sink."
"Want to use the sink but not the toilet? Want to flush without turning on the sink? Well, too bad!"
"That's not an option that you have," according to Emily.
"this toilet-sink (sink-toilet?) is 'big in Japan.'"
