Text description provided by the architects. This project was a women’s toilet design competition for a private high school with nursing education as its central focus. We were asked to use the power of design to renovate a toilet, an enclosed space often found in schools, into a new place. We decided to create a space that was filled with booths by two operations.

The enclosed space filled with toilet booths was transformed into a space created by two operations. One is a planar operation. A single diagonal line is drawn to divide the space in two; the second is a crosssectional operation, 2.3 meters in height from the floor, and I decided to design only the area below the line where the ceiling finish had been applied before the renovation. Each space, divided in plan and section, is divided into a foyer and a toilet booth, and the Robby is gently connected to the common corridor.
