Hmm... I was asked to fix one about 5 years ago - It was a large, old farmhouse and the toilet wouldn't have looked out of place in a National Trust property. A 'seating area' looked like a 6ft x 2ft box with a square wooden lid. The flush pipe from the cistern to the pan was enclosed in the corner of the room! A real masterpiece. The only issue was the cistern being in the cupboard 15ft up, and when I got up a ladder, I'd have had to reach about 4ft into the cupboard to even stand a chance of replacing the syphon. the cupboard certainly wouldn't have been strong enough to crawl into. I decided it was a job for a lightweight, young person or 2 people (1 to catch the victim as they fell)
My paternal grandfather had one just like that, rather palatial solid hard wood, i can't say which, but it must have been salvaged from something quite grand, it was an out side throne room as well..this was some time ago , in North London, i was only little then.

Probably comes from the travelling community ,by that I mean mobile homes ,camper vans , boats and stuff, where the self contained ablutions suite is a desirable.
Just lateral thinking really, not to far a stretch to place a wash basin above the cistern.
On some cabin boats the wash basin swings out over the pot, the grey water discharges straight in, then pumped out .
In most cases of plumbed in wash rooms, ,it's more like a wet wardrobe than a wet room, you close the lid of the pan , sit on it then shower sat down, but at sea,fresh water is a precious commodity, so rarely used, you wait until you get to harbour or main camp before you indulge in a deep clean.

We've a little 'loo' downstairs, but loo one side ,door in middle, sink the other, but it was designed as a loo in the house build. MIL had a similar loo to you, popped in where the cloaks cupboard used to be, but the sink was on the wall, and even being a 'compact one' it was in the way.

I like how the loo roll stand has been colour coordinated.

A lot of vegetarians are double flushes though, its all the pulses and roughage they eat....
Neat job @cyberknight !
It would clog up the toilet flush valve with soap suds, hair, debris etc etc etc. Resulting in early replacement costs.
A rabbit that can use a toilet, has it run away from a circus?

I know someone who trained an "indoor / house rabbit" (yes curious concept) to poop in the loo....

A girlfriend from way back had a huge rabbit (Dutch something or other) that was house trained and roamed freely around her flat. Seemed very strange to me.

As long as the rabbit is not rampant 🤔
