Fumihiko Maki tops Tokyo toilet with "cheerful roof"
Pritzker Prize-winning architect Fumihiko Maki has designed a facility for the Tokyo Toilet project, replacing a public restroom in Tokyo's "Octopus Park" with a new design topped with a thin white roof that it has dubbed the Squid Toilet.
Built as part of the Tokyo Toilet project to upgrade toilets in the downtown Shibuya district by the non-profit Nippon Foundation, the facility was put up in the Ebisu East Park, which is known as the Octopus Park due to an octopus-shaped slide. Maki's studio,聽Maki and Associates, designed the building to be a pavilion that, as well as a toilet, could also be used as a place for people to rest.
