  • The Bioloo is a new take on sustainability and composting toilets.
  • Compost from the toilet is used to fertilize the roof garden on top of the structure, which also sends floral smells down to the toilet.
  • The designer, Zeltini, describes it as "a place to rest, recharge and drop the unwanted matter."

The Bioloo is surprisingly beautiful and thoughtful for a toilet.

The design is simple: a composting toilet, enclosed in a small timber room, is used to fertilize the roof garden above, which also provides floral smells.

Designer Aigars Lauzis with design group Zeltini envisioned the concept as a way to fertilize land without using animal products while also creating "a place to rest, recharge and drop the unwanted matter."

The Bioloo is listed on Zeltini's website for about €3,000 (about $3,365).

Take a look.
