Going to the toliet will never be the same again

A day before the second lockdown in Auckland, I was meeting up with my husband who had spent two weeks in MIQ in Auckland after a business trip to Sydney. We planned a trip north for a week to catch up. Driving through Kawakawa, it's hard not to notice the colourful sculptures, mosaics, copper and cobblestones of the town's public toilets. Like nothing you've ever seen before, golden orbs perch on the grass tuft roof of this truly unique public washroom. Austrian architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser lived in Kawakawa from the mid-'70s to his death in 2000 and gifted the toilets to the town. Be warned - he didn't like using straight lines, so this might be one of the most fascinating designs you encounter!
