Hundertwasser Toilet #4


The artist Frederick Hundertwasser designed a public toilet in Kawakawa on the far North Island of New Zealand. He was splitting his time between The Bay of Islands and Europe, mainly Vienna. When the local council decided in 1998 to update the public toilets, he offered his design and it was accepted. This is the only Hunderwasser structure in the Southern hemisphere and one of his last major works.

And it is one of the most photographed public toilets in the world.
