But it looks like there is a toilet in the garage. What if you are using the toilet when your spouse returns from work and opens up those big doors? I'd also love to see one of these apartments inhabited to see how it would really function and how people would decorate spaces like this. The walls, which appear to be concrete, would make it difficult to put a picture on the wall. Maybe I’m simply not understanding the photos. But it looks like there is a toilet in the garage.

(they would not want the fumes either to eventually penetrate their own apartments. In any case I just cannot imagine they would do that on principle.) Love it! I have dreamed of a place like this, and the lack of ability to bring a motorized bike "inside" the way I can my bicycle has kept me from buying a scooter in my city. Kudos.
