Equality
Equality is a gender neutral public toilet located in Banqiao Station, New Taipei City. The 80 square meter space has a ceiling height of 2.7 meters and is built with ceramic tiles and high density plastic partition walls. An air duct in each stall creates negative pressure and removes odors. A signal indicator at the entrance shows which stalls are free and their type, including urinal, western, eastern and accessible. A central sink counter is set at a child friendly height, and a mirror green wall is fed with gray water from the sink.
