Tokinokura Lavatories Shimodate / Shuichiro Yoshida Architects
Here’s a kind of project we don’t frequently see a lot of…a public bathroom facility. Shuichiro Yoshida, a Tokyo based architect, designed lavatories housed on less than 9m2 of ground space in Chikusei City. The site is a historic storage building, (one of the few still standing after the WWII), and a volunteer group obtained the ownership of the building to use as their activity base for “discovering the region-specific historical and cultural heritages.” Yoshia was asked to add lavatories for visitors and staff (as there are none within the building).
Architectural laboratory offers the full range of services: from the initial permits, the development of all project stages to approval of projects and supervision.
