Muslims flats
A new block of flats has opened in Bristol with bathrooms that are specially designed not to offend Muslims.
The toilets have been built so they do not face south east, which means tenants of the housing association-run flats are not facing Mecca when they use them.
Powerful extractor fans in the kitchen because Asian families prefer steam-cooking which leads to condensation problems.
Larger kitchen cupboards because Asian families tend to use more pots and pans.
A designated area of worship for Sikhs.
The 16 flats in Wilson Street, St Paul's, have been built at a cost of £1.7 million.
