The basin is made to support people with different height, for example the difference between an adult and a child. A child might need extra support to help them reach the average basin, while an adult might need to bend down too much. To try and solve this problem, this basin provides a rotational function. One side is made for the average height of an adult, while the other side is made for the average height of a child.
The top basin is made in a curved shape to accommodate the rotational function. Also, the curved “feet” of the top basin is made so that should extra water flows down while the basin is set on the adult side, it would lead the water to the drainage (bottom basin).
The tap should be placed on the wall (preferable the side), with the handle on the side of the basin, making it accessible to everyone. The tap should be place directly above the hole of the basin. Therefore, even though the water would flow directly to the drainage, which would cause splash (the higher the height, the more water splashes), the splash would actually happen inside the drainage, which has sufficient space for the splash to happen without reaching the user.
A ratchet device is used to support the rotational movement. This was used due to it’s characteristic of being able to stop at a certain point. And the ratchet device isn’t hard to operate, which would mean that children with less power or people with disabilities wouldn’t have trouble operating the basin.
Corian is used as the material for the basin. Corian has a finished product similar to ceramic, a commonly used material for a bathroom. However, Corian is much lighter, making it more suitable as an adjustable basin. Corian is also easy to clean and last long with normal care.
