Mr. Toilet House, Suwon, South Korea
During his stint as Mayor of Suwon City in South Korea, Sim Jae-deok campaigned to improve local toilets. He became so obsessed with his crusade that he demolished the house he’d lived in for 30 years, and replaced it with this toilet-shaped property.
Designed by architect Go Giung, the home was finished in 2007. Following Jae-deok’s death in 2009, his family donated the property to the city, turning it into a toilet-themed museum.
