A large area of pink produces a lovely atmosphere in the women's washroom and makeup room, and neon lamps on the wall add individuality and avant-garde stylishness to the space. In contrast, the men's washroom is characterized by turquoise color, in which the painting of geometric shapes enriches the sense of structure in the space. Besides, TOM DIXON toiletries placed in the washrooms can serve for people's pursuit of a quality life. With the integration of functionality and humanistic aesthetics, the project perfectly interprets an elegant and quality lifestyle.
