More Than Just a Public Restroom Riga / Latvia / 2023
19
At 'VEF kvartāls', we're taking a novel approach to public restrooms, elevating them from hidden necessities to prominent features of the space. Our design ensures resource efficiency by repurposing shipping containers into sleek, efficient restrooms, harmoniously blending with the existing staircase and adding a modern touch to the area. The design demands attention and disrupts the ordinary.
Alongside this, we've integrated a relaxation zone and accessible drinking water stations, catering to the site's seasonal peak during warmer months. Outdoor sinks are strategically placed to streamline crowd flow during events. The facade features bright light fixtures ensuring bold visual appearance and enhancing navigation also during the darker hours of the day.
In this project, practicality meets design, creating a user-friendly environment that complements the vibrant atmosphere of 'VEF kvartāls'.
