This is a design for the staff toilet on the second floor of Kawamoto Store, a local supermarket in Akitsu. The request was to design a toilet that employees could comfortably use on the second floor of the store, where the warehouse, office, and break room are located.

We thought that it would be possible to create a situation where installing a toilet would be positive, so we wrapped the upper frame of the entrance fittings 2m from the FL all the way around it, and connected the wall and the light-transmitting surface using that as the boundary, thereby creating a space between indoors and outdoors. I defined it as a spatial device that illuminates both.

Two 1m long polycarbonate window are pasted from the top frame to the ceiling, with the aluminum L-angle edge facing toward the outside of the room in a continuous window structure, and by supporting the two sides of the top and bottom, the surface on which the drop is cast is made as wide as possible. The aim was for it to function as a lighting device similar to a lantern.
