This public washroom is designed to fit into any Toronto park setting. The above photo is taken in Allan Gardens. The washroom is self sustaining: with sensors that tell the toilet to clean itself after each use; solar panels on the outstretched branches that supply power to run a small pump and electric hand dryer; and it notifies cleaning services when the poop tank needs emptying. There is a coin slot outside the wc where a user deposits 10 cents, then the doors open for use. The overall design of the wc is taken from its surrounding nature, a tree.
