Unique Properties: This gender neutral public toilet is located in Banqiao Station, New Taipei City. As the main transportation of New Taipei City, Banqiao Station serves large traffic of commuters. This toilet design is designed along with the SDGs agenda of city to create more sustainable city development
Dimensions & Packaging: Total area: 80 square meter
Ceiling Height: 2.7 meter
Tags: SDGs, Gender Neutral, Toilet, New Taipei City, Taiwan
Production Technology: The interior space is constructed ceramic tiles and high dense plastic partition walls. Air duck is installed in each toilet stall to suck the smell for creating the space negative pressure.
Design Challenge: To achieve a gender-neutral toilet design, we investigated color choices for the space, circulation, signage, and lighting. These elements influence the mentality of users and contribute significantly to providing a welcoming atmosphere. The green wall at the mirror utilizes the gray water generated from the sink to innovate water usage and even more sustainable applications.
Research: The main objective of this project is to achieve gender equality with a design solution. Gender equality, one of UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), is often discussed in social issues. New Taipei City, the largest population city in Taiwan, has spent a significant amount of effort addressing SDGs in the city development. Therefore, this gender-neutral public toilet project is the milestone of New Taipei City's achievement.
Inspiration: The color, planning and lighting are inspired by concept of gender neutral. Toilet as one of the most sensitive space and function for gender equality, the design serves as the key element to go beyond of traditional gender barrier.
Project Duration: 2021.05 Design Proposal
2021.08 Finalizing Design
2021.10 Demolition of existing toilet
2021.12 Completion
Operation Flow: There is a signal indicator at the toilet entrance to show which toilet stall is available. The display also describes the type of toilet, such as urinal, western or eastern, and handicap-accessible. At the center of the toilet complex, there is a large sink counter with kids' friendly height. Furthermore, the integrated mirror green wall provides user comfort.
