How did this win America’s Best Restroom?

Posted on 22. Sep, 2010 by Rob Watson in Weird and Wonderful

Back in July I wrote about a competition to find America’s best bathroom.

At the time I had a little dig at the entry from The Fountain on Locust, on account of it’s complete lack of design restraint.

So you can imagine my shock when I learnt this week that this restroom won the top prize!

Have I lost touch with what makes good design? I’m all for playfulness, but don’t you think this is just plain weird?

Here’s a video from the restaurant to help you make up your mind.

I thought The Muse Hotel was the best in that competition!

Since Canada’s Best Restroom competition is still undecided, I’m going to have another shot at this.

So, I’ve got a gut feeling that the bathroom in Mildred’s Temple Kitchen will win. Those murals are fantastic.

Valerie – I completely agree. there’s just way too much going on in such a small room.
