recollect a few months ago , when we talked about thebathroom supply companyon a seeking to find America ’s best restroom — a dubious honour — by poll the internet ? Well , today they announced the winner , and somewhat ironically , it recreates nature around those who are answering shout of nature .
After months of public vote , the winner is the restroom insideLongwood Gardens , a botanic garden outside of Philly on terra firma once by William Penn and later became a public garden — after the land was bought by the industrialist Pierre S. du Pont . Yep , the same guy who made DuPont into the mega - pot it would become , and finally go on to run GM . Anyways , du Pont made the garden into more than 1,000 Acre of public gardens . He actually terminate up bequeath much of his extensive fortune to the garden .
In 2010 , the garden ’s administrator hired theBritish architect Kim Wilkieto design interior lav for visitant , and the resulting invention is actually very cool . The individual bathroom are accessed through doors on a long , arc wall inside the nursery . Each doorway leads to an individual “ cabinet ” that face almost like a grain silo , fire up from above , and that Wilkie allege are designed to capture rain piss and recycle it in the garden .

The wall along the entrance is really one of the big green walls in the country : It has almost 50,000 private plants and 25 metal money , admit orchids and ferns , and according to Philly’sDaily Local Newsthese plants scrubbing “ 15,500 hammer of rubble and harmful toxins ” from the air annually . harmonise to the garden ’ admins , it ’s become a large point of interest for visitor , and Longwood ’s main marketing officer calls it “ the only restroom with its own docents . ”
So there you have it . I had my the skinny joke locked and loaded for this announcement , but this is a sincerely yours nerveless bathroom , and apparently the internet agrees . If you want to go , uh , test it out for yourself , here ’s how .
