What does a public washroom owe the city?
We think: more than it’s ever been asked to give.
Our entry for the TO the Loo Toronto public washroom competition wasn’t selected, but the thinking behind it - about dignity, light, disidentification, and what public space can genuinely be - feels too important to leave in a drawer.
Our project was a refusal to treat the washroom as an isolated object of shame, and instead asked: what if it were a gateway? A courtyard-maker? A catalyst for connection between housing, parks, and the street?
What if going to the loo became a genuinely surprising, beautiful, light-filled experience?
The ideas live on. Swipe to see them.
