Marlborough District Council - Public Toilet Upgrades

Practice

Location
Nelson/Marlborough

Public toilet facilities present a complex brief with a very small footprint. Taking into consideration elements of safety, natural light, ease of use, sustainability, wayfinding and community, the architects have upgraded three separate facilities in a way that is consistent, yet unique in their individual response to each site’s context and history. The ability to transform prosaic public facilities into something that enables the space around it to be loved and enjoyed by a community, is quite an achievement. The fresh flowers signalled to us that the toilets are cared for with pride. As architects, what more could we ask for?
