Completed as part of the Tokyo Toilet project, this red public toilet block was squeezed onto a triangular plot in Tokyo's downtown Shibuya.
Designed by New York-based Japanese designer Nao Tamura, the form of the irregularly shaped toilet was based on the Japanese craft of Origata

The Wembley WC Pavilion, which was designed by London studio Gort Scott, is covered in shimmering golden aluminium that extends out at the building's corners to give it a star shape when viewed from above.
