Here’s another building with a pointy prow, but this time it’s a public toilet. Photographer Edmund Sumner has sent us these pictures of the new facilities in Gravesend in Kent, England, by Plastik Architects.



The local council asked for a “minor landmark” public convenience to act as the centrepiece to its regeneration masterplan.




Gravesend, a small town on the River Thames in Kent, is undergoing significant regeneration. The site for the public toilet lies at a key junction along a new public footpath linking the heart of Gravesend to public parkland to the south. The brief was to provide a new toilet facility on the edge of a car park within the Lord Street / Parrock street regeneration area.
