Spacecraft Wet Box: Redefining the Boundaries of Bathroom Design

A Mobile and Responsive Wet Unit by JAHN

SpaceCraft is a concept that was built upon the ideas of elastic space and Active Housing, an internal focus JAHN initiated in 2012 to study the progressive notion of responsive and flexible transformation of space. The concept of Active Housing defines spaces that are adaptable and transformative given the users’ needs within the most mundane tasks of everyday life.

Introducing the SpaceCraft Wet Box, a revolutionary piece of furniture designed by JAHN. This mobile wet unit redefines the boundaries of bathroom design, offering a unique and adaptable experience. With its innovative features and sleek design, the SpaceCraft Wet Box is set to revolutionize the way we think about bathrooms.

The SpaceCraft Wet Box is a quartz-clad box that contains all the wet functions of a bathroom. It serves as a source of lighting and is the only physical element that, through movement, redefines the internal boundaries within the SpaceCraft. This mobile design allows for flexibility and adaptability, catering to the users' needs and preferences.

One of the key features of the SpaceCraft Wet Box is its responsive nature. Lights, water, and air operate via sensors, providing a seamless and intuitive user experience. The box is back-lit, creating a lantern effect and automatically turning on upon entry and off upon exit. Motion sensors activate the water supply, while dry air is provided through the air blade feature at the exit. Water is supplied and drained through the floor, ensuring a clean and efficient system.

The SpaceCraft Wet Box is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. Its sleek design and polished finish, using Thassos Ice Pulido BPT, adds a touch of elegance to any bathroom. With dimensions of 1200mmx1900mm, it fits seamlessly into various spaces, making it suitable for both residential and commercial settings.

SpaceCraft Wet Box was realized between February 2015 and February 2016 in L'Antic Colonial Showroom located in Castellon, Spain. The design team, led by Francisco Gonzalez-Pulido, Jon Gately, Phil Stott, Sanaz Saeedi, and Stephanie Pelzer, worked tirelessly to bring this innovative concept to life.

The SpaceCraft Wet Box has received recognition for its outstanding design. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Bathroom Furniture and Sanitary Ware Design category in 2015. This prestigious award is bestowed upon designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills, contributing to quality of life improvements.

With its unique properties, innovative technology, and elegant design, the SpaceCraft Wet Box is set to revolutionize the way we experience bathrooms. It offers a new level of adaptability and functionality, providing users with a truly transformative and personalized experience. Get ready to redefine the boundaries of bathroom design with the SpaceCraft Wet Box.
