04 Best Ager: Pop up my Bathroom

“Freibad” – a German word that usually means an outdoor pool but has been coined here to symbolise freedom in what was once the smallest room in the house. Besides advocating more acceptance for barrierfree bathrooms, the motto also calls for the necessary freedom to implement new bathroom concepts in which it is users’ needs that determine the design.

A Bathroom designed for Ease – at any Age

A finely-meshed safety net made up of familiar surroundings, technical equipment and barrier-free housing gives people a sense of security and ease. And that sense of ease should be expressed in the design of the Easy Bathroom too: for all its technical sophistication, it must be simple and intuitive to use as well.
