Glass Floored Bathroom Built Directly over an Empty Elevator Shaft - Neatorama

Is the glass floor sturdy enough to hold you? Certainly. At no point in the indefinite future, while you are seeking relief, will it suddenly break and let you plummet to your death fifteen stories down. Just relax and tend to your business in this penthouse bathroom in Guadalajara, Mexico. Architect Hernandez Silva probably did some structural analysis and whatnot.

If this were real, my only concern would be if the people in the apartments below had access to the elevator shaft, and the resulting lack of embarrassing photographs that would ensue.

It was passed around years ago as a clever floor painting, but was really a Photoshop masterpiece.

I'm reminded of the glass floor in the CN Tower in Toronto, where there's 1,122 feet of space beneath you:

It would be better if when you flushed the toilet it fired out into the shaft.

If someone installed that in my apartment I'm peeing in a bottle forever.

HAH! Love it! I'd call someone it to fix the lights and make sure I'd be in there naked the entire time =P

The dual toilet paper rolls make a lot of sense actually...

I'm not sure I'd make it to the toilet, before the view made me give it up.

Who needs laxatives?

How will he fix the lights if they break?

How terrifying! Even if it is safe, it's still scary.
