About Trident Offentligt toilet

Trident er et offentligt toilet designet som en standardiseret og modulær gadebygning. Hver enhed er en bygning i ét plan med et areal på 40 til 70 kvadratmeter. Facaden er beklædt med en perforeret panel-curtain wall med finish i blå fluorcarbonmaling. Et solcelleanlæg på taget leverer elektricitet til toilettet og kan desuden forsyne nærliggende beboere. Sensorstyrede vandhaner, skylleventiler, en integreret vaskebord i kunstig marmor og et luftrensningssystem holder det indvendige rent og let at vedligeholde.
