Who said it was impossible to beautify a toilet? This is\nwhat two architects from Oslo did. Marit Justine Haugen and Dan Zohar have\ncombined their talents to create these out-of-the-ordinary public toilets that\nlook more like pieces of art than a utility space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the practical aspect of this architectural marvel\nlocated along the road (and even by the sea), there is a very special story\nbehind its construction. Ureddplassen is also a memorial to 42 Norwegian\nsoldiers who died during the Second World War. Their submarine collided with a\nmissile sent by a German ship. It was almost half a century later when the wreck\nof this submarine was finally discovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, the terrace surrounding this wave-shaped toilet\noffers breathtaking views of the Norwegian Sea. In winter, it is not uncommon\nto see onlookers taking time to contemplate the sky to see the aurora borealis.\nThis public building underwent a renovation for the impressive sum of 1.6 million\neuros last year. The glass facade has been redone and small steps leading to\nthe sea have been created so that people can wait while dreaming in front of\nthe horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These pink marble toilets, similar to the one used for the\nUnited Nations building in New York, illuminate at night and adjoin a rest\narea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Ureddplassen is a place for a short break, a good rest\nand a picnic, or for long nights where you can admire the midnight sun or the\naurora borealis”, explains the Nasjonale turistveger, the Tourist Office\nfor the Norwegian Helgelandskysten Route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
