Update... The architect just called and explained what happened. It appears the custom kickplate at the bottom is covering up the light that reflects off the floor when the machine is on. It was supposed to have been notched out, but that detail was missed by the millworker. No problem – it’ll all be taken care of.
I still feel as if a small red dot on the floor isn't enough warning that "this door will get you wet". Especially for guests. It should lock or do a better job turning off quickly as it is opened.
It's definitely not a small dot: http://imgur.com/iMd4x. That is large and bright enough to be noticeable, and anyone should be able to tell that that means "ON".
It'd be funnier if they weren't originally associated with building 37 Signals' offices. It'd be hard not to become a fan of 37signals if you were responsible for building out their entire place.
Like seeing a C-list celebrity in person and shaking their hand - odds are, the next time you see one of their movies, you'll have a special place in your heart for what they do, even if it, previously, was of no interest to you.
