About Trident Lavabo públic

Trident és un lavabo públic dissenyat com un edifici urbà estandarditzat i modular. Cada unitat és una estructura d'una sola planta amb una superfície de 40 a 70 metres quadrats. La façana està revestida amb un mur cortina de panells perforats acabats amb pintura de fluorocarboni blava. Un sistema fotovoltaic a la coberta subministra electricitat per al lavabo i també pot donar suport als residents propers. Aixetes amb sensor, vàlvules de descàrrega, un taulell de rentat integrat de marbre artificial i un sistema de purificació de l'aire mantenen l'interior net i fàcil de mantenir.
