Our project redefines public restrooms at Tsubasa Park, transforming them into open, relaxing, and enjoyable spaces. Visitors can enjoy views of Tokyo International Airport from benches and observation platforms under extended eaves. The design seamlessly blends traditional and modern elements, using sustainable materials like Japanese cypress and Yakisugi (burnt cedar) for durability and aesthetics. Gender-neutral signage with non-traditional colors further promotes inclusivity.
