The concept of this project is to design a public toilet that also acts as a community space. The idea of a maze is creating spaces within the boundaries that connect with other spaces and at the same time create a buffer area between the toilet and the interactive space. The design favors Vaastu as well according to Indian traditions.

The seating area will have graffiti on walls and a semi-open façade which will be interactive and aesthetically pleasing to the users. Exposed concrete is used to reduce the maintenance cost and blend with the urban setting around. Every sub-block will have a courtyard space in between which comprises water bodies, fragrant plants, and trees, thus making the area cool and odor-free. The place is always shaded and climatically responsive.
Voids and niches are designed to keep the area well ventilated and to have a sense of openness. Visual connectivity and privacy are maintained. People can paint on the art wall and read at the library creating cohesiveness and interactive space.
