Hinwil House I-downstairs



This red kitchen really works. I believe it is IKEA.




Here is a thing we particularly like. The garbage tilts out when you open the door under the sink (the almost universal place for the garbage). The extra bags live in a surface that covers the garbage when the door is shut.

A note about garbage here. They pay for disposal of garbage by weight. It is incentive to recycle. Downstairs are bins for recycling.



Self portrait on refer-how poetic. I like the way the fridge blends in with the other cabinets.

Three tiered dishwasher. Love the upper shelf for silverware.
Corner cabinets are always good-better if the shelves revolve.

Doors and windows offer two ways of opening. Handle up allows the top to tilt inwards allowing air flow without direct draft. Handle in the middle-horizontal-allows the door to open for passage. Handle down locks.

Downstairs bathroom has a toilet that doubles as bidet. If there is weight on the seat, pushing either handle on the back gives a fairly jet propelled stream of water. A body must move around to direct the flow. The water is followed by a dryer.

Somebodies have turned the dining room table into an information station.





If you click on the photo, you will see that Bang works on Schmutz. Who knew??
