VALUE PROPOSITION
Public toilets are essential but often fall short in cleanliness, comfort, and accessibility. Smart Haven is dedicated to transforming public toilets into high-quality, gracious facilities. Through touchless fixtures and self-cleaning technology, refined facilities ensures superior cleanliness for all users thus offering a hygienic experience. The thoughtfully designed restrooms also aim to enhance accessibility so they can be used by everybody. Smart Haven elevates urban spaces making them safer and more inviting while aiming to improve public health through safe cleaning systems which reduce the spread of germs. Investing in high standards means offering restrooms that are not only functional but also gracious. The cultural importance of these public toilets can be seen in places like New Zealand, Australia and Japan.
DESIGN LANGUAGE
All fixtures are built into the wall without cracks or crevasses. Having all of the fixtures fitted like this with smooth curved edges means that whenever the bathroom needs to be cleaned, it can just be sprayed down with water. All the water will then run off the fixtures. Without gaps there are no worries about the water pooling behind or in things. The form language of the exterior also follows this theme, while also visually resembling a toilet!
