Island of Success
The new lavatory design features a successful all-in-one sanitary island concept. The “island” concept allows sufficient social distancing among users whereas the “all-in-one” concept facilitates smooth arrangement and management of various sanitary provisions.
The independent basin islands provide a loop concept for circulation flow. Compared with the ordinary single row washing station, this boundary less design enhanced the routing flexibility and fluidity of users. Small details also go to the rotated island orientation which is designed to maximize the social distancing among users. By entering each basin island, users can enjoy one-stop services for all sanitary provisions they need, including washing basin, sensor faucet, sensor soap dispenser, sensor hand dryer, paper towel dispenser and disposal bins. These touchless technologies also highlight the new user experience.
The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic has brought us into a new era of shopping mall experience. High standard of hygiene plays an extremely important role in image upgrade, thus, Island of Sanitary Provision will undoubtedly signify an island of success.
