Originally named 'Haewoojae,' the Suwon, South Korea residence is now the Mr. Toilet House Toilet Museum. This crapper country house was commissioned by Sim Jae-Duck of the World Toilet Association.
Previously covered on Trend Hunter as an uncanny rental accommodation, the Mr. Toilet House must be utterly flushed to become a full-fledged institution for the exhibition of restroom relics. Shaped like the seat and bowl of a real bathroom amenity, the Mr. Toilet House Toilet Museum really couldn't embody a better form to reflect the material showcased inside.
