Kensington Public Toilets

The Comfort Station

The Comfort Station is an inclusive public toilet proposal designed for South Kensington Pedestrian Tunnel, a key route connecting South Kensington Station with the Natural History Museum, Science Museum, and Victoria & Albert Museum, designed for my Interior & Spatial Design year 2 project. Despite the tunnel serving thousands of visitors daily, there are currently no public toilet facilities within the space. The project responds to this gap by creating an accessible, sensory-conscious environment that prioritises dignity, comfort, and wellbeing for all users, particularly those with physical and cognitive disabilities.

Project Development

Extensive site, social, and demographic mapping informed the early stages of the project. Through analysing homelessness data, urban conditions, community infrastructure, and existing urban farming initiatives, I identified opportunities for a design intervention that could address both social inclusion and environmental sustainability.
