@barbiesharmarj: 🇳🇿🤯Only in New Zealand could a bathroom feel like architecture, art, and a tourist attraction all at once. Ranked by Lonely Planet among the world's best public toilets, and even featured in global travel stories like Forbes, these Toilets in the North Island are one of New Zealand's most unexpected and unique tourist attractions. 🚽😍 🚢Designed by local architecture student Steffan de Haan, these sculptural bathrooms were inspired by the region's boatbuilding history which is why they look like giant wooden boat hulls rising from the ground. What started as a public toilet design competition in 2002 turned into a seven-year project that ofticially opened in 2009, and somehow became a place people now travel to just to take photos.📸 📍Matakana Toliets, Auckland . . . #newzealand🇳🇿 #aucklandnz #northisland #uniquefinds

Why is there a camera inside, why did it take 7 years to build, why did you not show the full thing, and there’s probably like one other bathroom like this in nz and that’s it lmao

How would it take 7 years to make these? I guess I just don’t see the big deal. They’re nice, sure, but not worth traveling to see.

No many were built and it took seven years and they are spectacular they are so clean and no there are no cameras in there but what we have to do now is hope that the tourists look after them I know that’s a big ask
