The Design
About Convenience Lavabo Temporal
Convenience é un lavabo temporal deseñado para espazos públicos sen aseos permanentes. A unidade colócase sobre un punto de acceso ao sistema de sumidoiros, polo que a urina se descarga directamente no pozo de saneamento e non queda almacenada. A tapa do pozo retírase e colócase nunha canaleta situada entre os dous urinarios, onde mantén a unidade estable e evita que se perda. A forma deseñada permite que a chuvia limpe as superficies. Convenience está fabricado mediante moldaxe por inxección de plástico e é suficientemente lixeiro para ser trasladado polos traballadores municipais. As dimensións son 1300 mm de ancho, 1400 mm de profundidade e 2000 mm de altura.

- Production Technology
- Our design is shaped by plastic injection molding technology.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge of our design is that we cannot find a right place to put manhole cover at the beginning. After a certain number of sketching and discussing of our project, we finally find the proper way which achieves the desired effect. Now, the manhole cover is the key of how to make Convenience self-balance.
- Research
- To avoid the awkward circumstance for nowhere to empty your bladder, the team offer a better solution of temporary man’s room by incorporating urban sewage into design. For temporary man’s room, as we all know, how to make it cleaning and where to put urine are big issues. Our team find a right way in it’s unique shape which can self-cleaning in those rainy days and let the pass water through into sewage well directly.
- Inspiration
- Because of it incorporates urban sewage, Convenience can be placed anywhere with a sewer line and manhole cover. The team have got a brilliant idea in reusing the manhole cover. The grooved-putting cover can make the product balance during service time. And the unique appearance make the pass water will be discharged into sewage well directly by the urinal so that it will not store urine. Convenience can be self-cleaning on rainy days. It is so light that can be moved easily by municipal workers.
- Project Duration
- The project started in April 2017 in LAFA Communal Facility Design Studio and finished in January 2018 in National Experimental Teaching Demonstration Center of Industrial Design in LAFA.
- Operation Flow
- The municipal apartment can remove the cover and put Convenience on the top of discharge. After setting Convenience, workers can put the manhole cover in the groove which is between two urinals’ back so that the cover won’t be lost.
