Grohe Ondus Digital - A Bathroom Experience

I flew up to KL a few days ago to re-select materials and fittings for the Penthouse units of a Condo Development we are doing. 

My first stop was the Grohe Showroom. Basically I was there because the developer wants to upgrade the specifications for the Penthouses. Anyway this was the first time I've seen an actually working set of the Grohe Ondus Digital Series that was launched sometime during the end of last year.

For the Digital Shower set, you can basically set your own shower sequence. Ie 2 mins Cascading water at 38 Deg, 1min Spray at 40 Deg, Pause 2 mins (to let you soap up) and 3mins Spray at 36 Deg to rinse. After your setup during your next shower just press play. 

Its really cool but how LAZY can you Get?! I would like to own a set only for the cool factor. However you better make sure you have got deep pockets. We are looking at a low 5 figure sum, thats $$,$$$, for just the shower set.

Linked Hinge

Simonswerk Tectus Concealed Hinges

I've been Missing In Action for sometime now and neglected the blog. Work has taken precedence over the last few week. Furthermore, I've been rushing to complete the construction drawings for the apartment. We intend to call for quotations by the end of the month. However, more importantly I have to lock in the design so that we can purchase tiles, fitting etc. Unfortunately every thing is linked. Cost, Design, Construction Details, Fitting Section etc...

I've finally decided to use a Concealed Link Hinge for all the doors. So that I can create a flush surface for all the doors and not have any protruding door frames. Its going to be neater than a pivot hinge door but cost more as well.
