Trail Restrooms | Texas | 2010


Miro Rivera Architects, based in Austin Texas, concocted this little jewel at the Lady Bird Hike and Bike Trail along the Colorado River. This coiled sculptural element is constructed of staggered Corten steel plates that allow light and fresh air to enter and cycle through the structure. The accommodation offers a sink, shower, toilets and a bench for cyclist, hikers and the usual passer-by's and requires almost no maintenance. The Town Lake Trail Foundation partnering with the city’s Parks and Recreation department built the restroom. Projects like this are like a breath of fresh air. The design is elegant and dramatic and with time, the Corten plates will oxidize and this structure will age so well. 
Raw is oh so beautiful. 
  

Stainless steel fixtures along with ADA compliant handrails.

 Anyway, this award winning firm does it right soooo…Thanks.
