Public toilets in Gravesend (a small town on the River Thames in Kent). In short, the idea was to provide a new toilet facility on the edge of a car park within the Lord Street / Parrock Street regeneration area Gravesham Borough Council required the building to be an eye-catching, 'minor-landmark' as a centrepiece to the adopted masterplan for the area. The basic form of the building is derived from the slope of the topography and the geometry of the site. The roof form is a distorted and inverted cantilevered pyramid, consisting of four triangular facets that meet in the lobby space.
Four faceted structural walls and two distorted columns are positioned to allow the roof seams to lead directly to the primary internal spaces - visually connecting the heart of the building to each corner. A single triangular roof-light was positioned along one seam in the heart of the plan, allowing the entrance space to be awash with natural daylight.
This project is carried out by Plastik Architects and it's probably the coolest public toilet exterior I have ever seen! What about you?
