Lobster loos
The lobster loos are iconic public toilets in Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand. They are part of the Wharves in [Wellington Harbour#Tug Wharf (1914)|Kumutoto] public space near Queen's Wharf on the Wellington Waterfront. They are formed from two concrete 'tentacles' covered over by a red-orange steel shroud. Updraft through the tentacles provides natural ventilation. The toilets were designed by Bret Thurston of Studio Pacific architects and cost $375,000 to build, twice as much as an ordinary facility. The toilets have been the subject of international interest.
The toilets are open 24 hours.
