Restrooms: Water Conservation Concept - Water Conservation
This design features a concept to introduce the issue of water conservation to the user. It is not only featured in the restrooms, but also in the childrens' arts and crafts wash area.
When the user turns on the faucet and begins washing their hands, the water level on the fish tank starts decrease. This provokes a sense of urgency in the user to hurry up and use less water. They are made aware of how they are effecting the environment. Don't worry, the fish are fake ;)

Rooftop Walkway - After the user ascends through the tree-like stairwell, they experience a beautiful walkway that provokes an atmosphere all its own. This walkway is a ramp that slowly ascends to the Rooftop Restaurant. As the user goes through through his journey, only the greenery beneath, the view across the river in front, and the sky above are clearly visible. cracks of transparent glass that reveal only glimpses of the journey to come (the rest of the ramp).
