Who said they can't be both?

Hmmm... I think there are much more serious problems here than the height of the sinks.
I almost feel like we're giving this issue more time that it deserves.
This is what happens when you don't have proper art direction, or the art team does not do enough pre-production work on location layout designs. The studio(s) and artists handling the backgrounds for each scene will then just draw whatever works for their allocated sequence, without having good reference to make something consistent.

Certainly we're giving it more time than the animators did.
There are no doors.
There is always enough time to mock bad art.
Doesn't look like there are any toilets either.
Production discussion is infinitely more deserving of discussion than the proper use/definition of loli.

Why blame the animators? This wouldn't be their responsibility.
I was using "animators" to refer generally to the people working on the visual design; I apologize for my lazy and improper word usage.
The bathrooms of the future are scary places.

Poor animators. First they have to work long hours and destroy their hands at low salaries, and now they're being blamed for things that are completely out of their hands! When will the suffering ever end?
Is there anywhere where home doors open outward?
Wait. That shot is even more amazing. There is STILL NO DOOR. It's just a.... wall or something which just appeared. Wtf?!
Every new picture posted just raises more and more questions.
I'm not sure I want to find out how deep this rabbit hole goes.

Not in the locations that I've visited. It's probably the case somewhere.

Next you will tell me blue police boxes are not ubiquitous in England.
Aren't you glad I played the devil's advocate just so we can uncover the TRUE horror? I knew the sinks weren't the actual problem!

Besides all the other issues, it looks the toilet is situated perpendicular to the stall door(?), which is not usually the case in the public restrooms I've visited. Especially considering the arrangement of the stalls.

The most disconcerting thing about that image is still the table. What is a table like that supposed to be used for?

Sweden!
I saw many outward opening doors in Sweden. And afaik old doors were also outwards doors.
There is almost no way that these three screens represent the same location in any sort of reality. I can only conclude that the art director did not bother to do any work whatsoever on this location, and this is the unfortunate result. Nothing matches up in the screens at all. Especially if you follow the tile lines on the floor to create a layout.
It's forward facing, the shot over the side is peering into the next stall. I hate to just spam bathroom pictures but here's another shot inside the stall. The head at the bottom of the screen is supposed to be a person standing in the stall with the main character.
Poker chips I guess.
That picture gets worse every time I see it. The best part is how every element in the image works together to highlight the awful digital compositing. Putting digital objects in front of characters just accentuates how much they don't belong. The reflection on the ground drawing your attention to the fact that the characters have no shadows and appear to be floating somewhere in front of the background. It's the image that keeps on giving.
Dang contrarian Swedes.
Uhh what happened to the tank on the back of the toilet.
Maybe it's a special toilet for the vertically challenged.Not to add to this, but the toilet itself is hideously small
Wait, did the toilet MOVE in this screen? Why isn't it against the wall?! The rabbit hole! >_<
What the crap. In the previous shot the toilet was clearly flush with the back wall, and now it's moved about a foot forward.

Stop it duckroll. This is almost as bad as the cloudbush.

Wow, that bathroom must be part of some shifting dimension or something. You've got a complete mish-mash of rooms that simply can't fit together.
Also, those are the most uncomfortable looking toilet stalls ever. I would not want to go into that bathroom.

I dunno man, Angel Beats doesn't try and do a faux-fish eye camera thing.

But that means the stall has its own back wall distinct from the wall of the restroom itself - why did they not just build it into the wall like any normal restroom? I don't understand!
Forget Nyarkogmasdf; this is the true cosmic horror of the season.

We don't have your healthy respect for fire.
It's a pity he couldn't get himself killed, fuck Shirou.
Yeah, I wasn't going to pick the whole thing apart but you guys did it for me anyway
Also, duckroll....the infamous second sink!
WAIT, HOLD ON. What's BEHIND him?
You Brits have clearly never had fires in enclosed spaces before.
