Restrooms can be the hidden gems of an interior design scheme; every building needs them yet they are often overlooked in favour of the more public spaces. This book sets out to remedy this by covering over 45 of the best recent designs from around the world by major international designers.Organised into chapters by type of interior - restaurants, hotels, bars and clubs, public toilets and other public buildings - for each project there are numerous images together with plans, where useful, showing the location and interior arrangement of the space, making this an invaluable resource for both interior designers and architects.The featured restrooms include: Osaka Castle Park, Osaka, Japan, Shuhei Endo; A.5
