There's no joke. It would simply not work.

But why?

It's an inconvenient design. Not good for small restrooms, only for big ones.

Not just that, the plumber that sees this will just laugh and refuse any service or installation

Why? It's not harder or more inconvenient than not doing it this way.

13 different installations and pipe systems instead of 3. Im not even a plumber and I know this would be ass. (Literally) Urinals are for piss. Liquid waste. Toilets are for solid waste. You pee in them too, but they need larger pipes that pull more water per flush. You cant have them on the same line. Alternating them like this is like installing 110v and 220v lines every 2 feet on a wall. If you really needed both you would have one wall for each. Which is why they do it the way they do. Also, the material cost for walls in between stalls is 1.5x. Having them all on one side eliminates basically one panel per stall. The urinals are basically blind, meaning that you have to check each one by physically looking at a guy with his dick out, and on the flip side of that, its extremely bad design to have places in public bathrooms where people are liable to get jumped. Its also a fire safety hazard and a risk for obese people.

Why would they refuse? They’d give whatever price they need to cover the job if some customer asked for it.

Small bathrooms are a urinal next to a stall. It’s this design with qty:1 of each fixture.

Hmmm... it could be scaled. The real issue is the placement of the sinks. They should be by an entrance. Some would have to unnecessarily walk against traffic just to wash their hands and leave.

Urinals are typically only installed in larger restrooms

Its not good for big ones either. The woman who designed this has zero idea where and what infrastructure is required inside the walls/floors.

Not even good for big ones, it is a total waste of space. Most restrooms are long and narrow, and have maybe a max 2 plumbing walls. 3 is poorly designed and a waste of money, and likely a horrible maintenance issue.

Its overly complicated and unnecessary. Uniformity in construction is important cause the guy doing the work doesn't have time to figure everything out himself, he needs to put work in place efficiently. The more complicated you make it the more time it takes him and that drives your cost up. It is also just bad design as now you have to walk up on someone to see if the urinal is free.

wouldn't say 'it wouldn't work'

but being able to see at a glance if a urinal is open is certainly a plus for standard layout
