Communal Lavatory
Design Argument / Design Intent
The site's immediate neighborhood on one side has high rise residential towers mostly. Upon looking closely, the field revealed the different user groups on and around the site which are the domestic helps, dog walkers, watchmen, dabbawalas, vegetable vendors, rickshaw drivers and many others. While toilets are the basic necessity for the public infrastructures this neighborhood has no public toilet within a radius of 500 metre. Hence this project facilitates the basic necessity of a public toilet in this locality, with extended public programs like a community centre, creche for children. The project centrally addresses what can be the architectural expression of these toilets that can not only hold these multiple programs together but also celebrates the mundane and hidden plumbing systems used within the intervention site?
