In the ever-evolving world of real estate trends, the absurd has become the new normal. Japan, always at the forefront of innovation, has unveiled transparent public restrooms, ensuring that the world knows when nature calls. Nothing says “vacant and clean” like a see-through toilet bowl.

Meanwhile, in the Philippines, condominium living has taken a voyeuristic turn with the introduction of outdoor curtains. It provides better sun block while encouraging passers-by to indulge in some neighborly gossip.

But wait, there’s more! Outdoor split air-conditioning units are the pièce de résistance, delivering a breath of cool air while residents soak up their daily dose of Vitamin D. 

In the world of real estate, it seems the only limit is the extent of one’s imagination—or lack thereof.
