The Design

About Trident Public Toilet

Trident is a public toilet designed as a standardized and modular street building. Each unit is a single-storey structure with an area of 40 to 70 square meters. The facade is clad with a perforated panel curtain wall finished in blue fluorocarbon paint. A photovoltaic system on the roof supplies electricity for the toilet and can also support nearby residents. Sensor faucets, flush valves, an integrated artificial marble washing counter and an air purification system keep the interior clean and easy to maintain.
