The main objective of this project is to achieve gender equality with a design solution. Gender equality, one of UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), is often discussed in social issues. New Taipei City, the largest population city in Taiwan, has spent a significant amount of effort addressing SDGs in the city development. Therefore, this gender-neutral public toilet project is the milestone of New Taipei City's achievement.

CHALLENGE:
To achieve a gender-neutral toilet design, we investigated color choices for the space, circulation, signage, and lighting. These elements influence the mentality of users and contribute significantly to providing a welcoming atmosphere. The green wall at the mirror utilizes the gray water generated from the sink to innovate water usage and even more sustainable applications.

This award-winning work is truly remarkable! It is proof that with the right design solution, gender equality can be achieved. The design is thoughtful and innovative, and the use of ceramic tiles and high-density plastic partition walls is a great example of sustainability. The incorporation of a green wall and the air duck to suck the smell is a great addition to the overall design. This work is a great example of how design can be used to create a more inclusive and equitable environment.
