The design challenge was to create an all gender restroom with ADA compliance. The solution for this challenge was designing a bathroom with plenty of clearances for a comfortable experience, and finishes that made the space feel futuristic and clean for easy maintenance and good user-experience.
Renders
In terms of FF&E, the bathroom interior is inspired by futuristic spaceships so the materials reflect that. There is glossy epoxy, chrome, and stainless steel to allow for maximum glossiness to imply smooth clean surfaces that spaceships have.
Technical Drawings
In terms of the space planning, the word ‘space’ was used quite literally because of the implementation of ADA clearances. The walkways have 5’-0” minimum clearance and the stalls are more spacious than stalls on normal occasions. There is an addition of a vanity space and a storage wall to provide amenities to users. These special features allow the user to feel like they are energized and can tend to their needs in the bathroom, with lots of space in-between.
