Toilet design around the world

Want to know the best part?
Most toilet rooms are similar to each other as two drops of water. Places from “village houses” to chic rooms in five-star hotels often have the general concept of latrine that you know. Despite this, some people have had the opportunity of visiting some toilets which are just striking in their design and interior. And now you have a great chance to see the pictures of the most unusual and amazing toilet rooms in the world! So, let’s start!
1. John Michael Kohler Center for the Arts, Sheboygan, Wisconsin, USA
The art center decorated the toilet rooms creatively and hired six artists to create some unique paintings. The building has a bathroom designed by the artist Anne Aegi. She created it in the Delft style, using white and royal blue tiles. Carter Custera called his room “Tell me something that I do not yet know.”
He decorated it with quotations of ordinary people who, at the request of the artist, described themselves using single phrase. Some descriptions look very funny and incomprehensible. For example, this one: “Bob never admits that he was defeated by a squirrel.” Visitors to the arts center often ignore the signs “M” and “F”. Due to their curiosity they glance at the doors of all rooms.
2. Sofitel Queenstown, Queenstown, New Zealand
This is a male toilet in one of the upscale New Zealand hotels. It has the most unusual design. Designers Cam Marsh, Brett Tylor, and Marc Perriam installed full-size photos of women in the restrooms. They are closely watching the process, with glasses, binoculars, cameras and even roulette. In addition to the above features, there is another nuance. All the models that posed for the designers ae actually real women and residents of the city of Queenstown.
