Clifton Road Reserve Toilets banner

Set between the coastal road, the iWay cycle path, and the sea, these new toilets serve coastal walkers and cyclists together with the overnight freedom campers that park in the reserve.

The site is both coastal and rural, with the kiwi rural red shed referenced in form and colour. The ‘cubicles’ are split with a covered area in between, to break their visual bulk and to provide shelter, and are oriented to frame the view to Cape Kidnappers.

To be seen in this context the toilets are painted an intense red, acting as a route sign, inviting a stop for a comfort break, a drink and a chance to lift your head and admire the view.

About the
Professional

Citrus Studio Architecture is a practice based in Napier, working in the fields of public, commercial and residential architecture.  Pride is taken in a collaborative approach to design, working alongside clients, consultants and the construction team to ensure the best result for the client and for the project. 

Citrus Studio aspires to produce buildings that work, that belong, and that add to the environment in which they sit.

Function, economy, beauty and sustainability are all benchmarks that every design is tested against as it is developed.  These concerns are addressed from the earliest concept ideas through to the detail design stages, where they are embodied in the construction details of the project.
