Modular
Modular is a series of urban sanitation tool rooms designed for public streets. Each room is composed of modular spatial elements, which makes the series flexible and expandable. A single unit can serve as a separate sanitation room, and several units can be combined into a small multifunctional public area. The interior follows the standard sizes of sanitation tools and uses vertical space to improve storage. The main structure is made of steel, and the outer surface uses fluorocarbon painted aluminium plate to resist corrosion and scratches.
Modular Sanitation Tool Room by He Qi & Xinbo Wang has been identified as an innovative example of industrial design by the A' Design Awards. Modular Sanitation Tool Room was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in Street Furniture Design in 2021. The A' Street and City Furniture Design Award is a highly prestigious international design prize that recognizes exceptional design of benches, bollards, bus shelters, bicycle racks, litter bins, planters, signage, lighting fixtures and more.
