ABSTRACT
High-quality toilet facilities are always desirable in high-spec modern office buildings. Quality fixtures and fittings are needed: but first, the plan must be right. Toilet facilities are highly important to the tenant, but also use up a lot of the landlord’s valuable floor space. There is therefore often a conflict between the desire of the tenants for comfortable, luxurious, spacious toilet facilities and a contrasting desire from the landlord to provide toilet facilities that are small in area and low cost to build. Toilet facilities have typically been offered only in a binary formation: male or female, but people do not all fall neatly into just two different genders. There are intersex and trans persons who may want to use a toilet space where they feel comfortable. Modern office buildings also need to provide washing/showering facilities. Each country has their own methods of calculating the right number of possible toilet facilities.
