Fitted Out In Style

With sophisticated bath fixtures fulfilling the highest standards of form and function, technology is transforming commercial washrooms that cater to some of the busiest facilities

Modern public and commercial washrooms are no longer a mundane space. With the growing demand, exposure to international brands and appreciation of good design and quality, premium bathroom products have seen an exponential growth. Architects and facility managers are now expected to provide designs that personalise washroom spaces. Therefore, contemporary bathrooms now integrate technology with minimalistic design, while their simple layout weeds out clutter. Secondly, these spaces enable more functionality, so that users feel in control and can easily and practically manage the space. Commercial bathrooms are evolving from just being a cleaning area to a place one can relax, restyle and get ready to move into the crowd again. To give a metropolitan look to the bathrooms, not compromising on functionality, fittings with cross-generation design and appealing aesthetics are employed. Even though one has an clear idea of the design, during the process of product selection the latest and updated products should not be always be the ones to be considered - durability, technology and material quality are important factors to be considered.

“Designing interiors for commercial properties is a complex task. While the focus is primarily on smart and efficient utilisation of space, fittings and fixture need be ergonomically designed, easy to install and costeffective. Solutions for commercial spaces primarily need to be sturdy, space efficient and water efficient too,” explains Rajesh Mehra, chairman and founder, Jaquar Group.
