We are confronted with the question of gender diversity almost every day when we use a public toilet. The debate about the pros and cons of all-gender toilets has been ongoing for some time. Find out how this challenge can be solved through design.

Creating living spaces that enable people to lead long, independent lives has become a central planning challenge of our time. To ensure that our designs are future-proof, comfort, safety, and accessibility must be consistently taken into account—especially when planning bathrooms.

Barrier-free bathrooms are not just for the elderly and disabled; they can make everyday life more comfortable for everyone. An appealing design that harmoniously integrates the supporting elements is essential for acceptance and well-being.

Whether wood, natural stone or clay: natural materials are increasingly finding their way into the bathroom and creating a sensual atmosphere that invites you to relax. When planning, however, you should pay attention to which materials are used where and what care they require.

Architecture has a tremendous impact on our behavior, well-being, and health. The extent of this impact has been studied for years under the term “Healing Architecture” and the associated evidence-based design. In this context, researchers are asking the central question of how our environment measurably affects our bodies and minds.

Trends such as micro living and increasing urbanization are bringing small bathrooms into the design spotlight. These can offer maximum functionality, comfort and individual style even in just a few square meters. Designing tiny bathrooms is both a challenge and an opportunity.
