I've got two toilets in my apartment that have the mechanics hidden in a sort of half wall, that is maybe a meter or so high. It has a stone "lid" you can lift and reach all the piping and mechanics and what not from the top. This seems like a pretty decent compromise to me, and also the lid is really useful as a shelf for toiletries and what not.
