Copper Clad Convenience

A few years ago, Cambridge City Council was criticized in the press over the poor quality of its ageing public toilets. The council responded by commissioning architect Freeland Rees Roberts to design some stylish new toilet blocks for Cambridge's parks and public spaces. The first was built in a corner of Parker's Piece in 2004. And this, the second one, was built on Midsummer Common in 2005.

 

The unusually shaped copper roof was designed by the architects to complement shape and colour of neighbouring avenue of Horse Chestnut trees than run along Victoria Avenue.
