The idea of this project is to design a washbasin with adjustable height and depth to fit the use of people with different heights and body sizes.
In several cultures, people use washbasin to wash their feet as part of ablution of preparation for prayers (as for Muslim Culture). Such attempts to raise individual`s feet to the washbasin for short persons can result in severe injuries including boon fractures especially for the elderly.
The Creative Washbasin has mechanical joints that can be controlled electrically or manually to adjust basin positioning to be suitable for usage. This results in safer and more comfortable settings for individuals.
The Creative Washbasin can play an instrumental role in helping people with special needs as well. Adding more features (e.g. tilting) to suite certain groups of disabled people can be very beneficial and help people with special needs overcome obstacles in washing up at regular washbasins.
