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. The
mass concrete roof is separated from the tile-clad, concrete block walls
by a continuous glazed clerestory; achieving a visual tension in the
composition between architectural elements and allowing all internal
spaces to be naturally lit. Structure is set away from the external wall
to emphasise this separation. The design achieves a building that
functions both as a landmark structure and as an efficiently planned
toilet facility, housed within a sculptural form.
