Gaudí System

A responsive bath system designed to give users full control of basic bathing necessities, reciprocating to different moods, in an effort to “humanize” an object that we use in our daily lives. From both psychological and functional point of view it is proven that people interact more efficiently and pleasantly with objects that can empathize and connect to. A single surface organizes the bathroom floor through a uniform tessellated pattern that consists of antibacterial rubber tiles. These are attached on a stretchable, water resistant polyurethane-coated Spandex membrane that is resilient and durable. With the help of hydraulic actuators that are fully integrated in the floor, the surface can be reshaped in a variety of formations in order to convert the shower floor to an artificial bathing landscape. A concealed overflow channel and extendable taps allow the whole system to flush with the floor and disappear completely when not in use.
