About Equality 성중립 화장실
Equality는 신베이시 반차오역에 위치한 성중립 공중화장실이다. 80제곱미터의 공간은 천장고 2.7미터로, 세라믹 타일과 고밀도 플라스틱 파티션 벽으로 조성되었다. 각 칸에 설치된 배기 덕트가 음압을 형성해 냄새를 제거한다. 입구의 신호 표시등은 어느 칸이 비어 있는지와 그 유형(소변기, 양변기, 좌식·화변기, 장애인용)을 알려준다. 중앙의 세면대 카운터는 어린이도 사용하기 편한 높이로 설계되었으며, 거울과 결합된 그린월에는 세면대에서 나온 중수를 재활용해 공급한다.

- 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.

Therefore, this gender-neutral public toilet project is the milestone of New Taipei City's achievement.
