Sheffield Park Washroom

Complete

Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada

2022

The Sheffield Park Washroom is part of a new park located in Coquitlam. The park sits on a steep hill sloping from north to south, leaving no space for a flat building site. Therefore, the design team will install the washroom below grade and use the roof as a lookout to the Frasier Valley below. Careful grading ensures that there are still clear visual sightlines from the street to the washroom door while buried.

The single-stall washroom uses radiant heat and daylight and is 100% touchless from the sensor-operated door actuator to the wall-mounted fixtures. Bright wall panels enliven the areas and ensure the washroom contributes positively to the park experience.
