Strange positioning of old toilet. Looking for suggestions for a new one

[Mr. Graves]

This is the toilet as it came with the house .I am remodeling the bathroom, and am wondering what would be the most sensible way to close the gap between the tank and the bowl while still letting it connect to the pipe in the floor. I did a bit of research and have found two solutions. One would be to get a corner toilet, and the other would be to buy a flexi-hose. What would be the solution that would be the most aesthetically pleasing?I really don't like seeing that pipe, and I fear that if I opt for the corner toilet, that it may not line up. Thanks for any advice!

Corner toilet and box in the back so it lines up.
avoid the flexi

 

[Mr. Graves]

Thanks Mr. Bing. What exactly do you mean when you say "box in the back"? I agree with you that the corner toilet would be a better choice, since you won't see the PVC anymore.

Build studding in the corner, fit close coupled wc and use existing waste

Can't you just use a 90 and a 45 degree bend to pull it back to the wall ?

 

[Mr. Graves]

I'll consider it. Thanks for the tip

Make a framework and tile, fit a new BTW Wc and hidden cistern. You would be able to move the Wc further away from that radiator. Couple of examples below.

Can you post the full floor plan of the bathroom? What is below that foor (I assume you do not want to touch that floor, or maybe it is an option?)

Looks good.... Took some 30 seconds to realise that the green on the bottom pic is plasterboard and not tiles.... Kept thinking why tile in green then do in white?

Thanks mate.
These are just a few of my bathrooms with built in cisterns to show the guy who wanted ideas on what to do with his Wc. Here are some pics of bathrooms Im more proud off.
