So here is Paul from Design Odyssey who is goanna explain to us this absolutely incredible compact bathroom system, so Paul, what is it?

Hah, Katie, all this is an all-in-one vertical bathroom. It consists of its top shower up here which rotates out, a shower lower down for children, etc. And then we have the system module flushing the toilet so that's hidden away. Then we have a couple of storage units, to store in your bottles, etc. There are lids on that to prevent the water getting in.
So you can actually lift this up and put stuff inside them, okay.

Yes. Lift them up ,you can put your wire baskets in there, customize how you want. And then we have the basin what you want as well which is a stainless steel bowl. Monobloc makes it so dispenser and then your shower controls to control the two overhead showers,(fantastic). Now rotate out the way as well revealing your toilet which has a soft cloth seat and a stainless steel pan. And then in here we have toilet roll and on the other side, we have toilet brush. So it’s very compact, very functional. Next year, we are hoping to be open really to a luxury version, with a mirror TV and some lights in as well and this ** we could out there upon the request.

And so what sort of price we are talking to? For the all-in-one as you see, it’s around about 10..., just only 10,000 including VATs. Ok and is it available now? It will be available in next couple of months. We are just finishing it off in couple of weeks and then we are ready to go.

Fantastic. Paul thanks ever so much for your time and thank you so much for showing us the system.

First of all excuse the lights. It’s actually not just may getting incredibly sunburn last weekend. It’s just very reddened here. This is the house in future after all, so why not have red lights instead of white. I am actually sitting on the hot red lounge which is incredible because it purely uses magnet to basically hover and what you can see is if I move around is that the chair actually moves around but its base just basically on this magnet pushing off each other and it’s incredibly steady and it’s very comfortable of stay with that, beyond the seats-on which would be actually cushions-on but this gives you sense of, you know, what this chair actually does, and it also gives you sense of the fact that it’s quite tough so it could be outside and be in house and in that aspect, it can definitely be one of the chairs in the future.

So we are here in the HTC Diamond launch in London to and we manage to get our hands on the latest handset to check it out to see what it is about. What you get, well you get a 3.20 mega-pixel camera. That’s H’s DPA 7.2 in the unit so that you can upload and download at high speed. There is also a WIFI (wireless Fidelity). But the impressive thing is the new touch close 3D interface which if you just push your fingers on there allows you to scroll through very quickly to different settings, chosen weather. Now, it runs on mobile 6.1, but pretty much it doesn’t look like 6.18 stable form. In fact, the Internet browser is from the Opera rather than Internet Explorers 6. And as you can see it, very graphical in its approach, if we go quickly to the "personal videos", everything is very pretty and images sort of scroll up or we go to "people", and you are goanna sign photos where you can look through the scroll through like a roller it acts, but also the Internet is very quick so we press the button here, page loads, now double tapping zooms in, you can scroll around just like the Iphone. And what’s interesting is that the text will also resize according to the screen rather than gonna…. So we got some text here, going to double tapping. As you can see it’s automatically resized. Then double tap when expand back yet. That’s really clever. and that’s the HTC Diamond due out on all networks in UK in June.

So this might look like a normal Velux's window, but it’s not. How many times if you looked around flat in London where obviously there is no space and it says Juliet Balcony will check this out. Now I know I have a very silly look on my face when I did that. But the first time they showed me, I thought it must be incredibly heavy. But actually I’m a complete weight, and it was no weight at all, and it's also really weak for you to collapse. So, what you have to do is, lift up these little catchers. So that is one there, one on this side, pull it back in, and take it down. That's easy. This is the Cabrio Balcony System from Velux. And it's about 2000 pounds and it will be available on the market very soon.

So I hope you enjoyed our dash-around Grand Design's Life and I hope also it's given you some inspiration ideas for your home maybe not now but may be for the future. Thanks for watching.
