As Buenos Aires transitions from its urban core to the river’s edge, the waterfront is being reimagined as a dynamic public space — a place of contemplation, community engagement, and activation. Within this broader urban revitalization, SAS has designed a series of bathroom units that not only provide essential services but also reflect a deep commitment to sustainability and design integrity. Each unit incorporates passive ventilation systems and a central rainwater collection tank, minimizing environmental impact. Constructed with natural, durable materials, these service stations seamlessly integrate into the surrounding landscape, enhancing the experience of the site while supporting its ecological and social vitality.
