In terms of usage, maybe I misunderstood, but in seeking to make it everything, will it end up being not quite right for anything? I would feel weird working in my boss’s house so a separate space is great, as they can arrive whenever suits rather than waiting for you to finish breakfast. But it can’t be a drum space and work space at the same time so will it ever be used for either properly?

I hated some of the workspace designs that Chris and Julia did for their office spaces before they moved because I felt so sorry for the staff having to make do with a dining chair because it was more aesthetically pleasing than a proper desk chair. I have disabilities so this is particularly important for me, but if I knew I’d have to work from weird spaces with uncomfortable furniture then I wouldn’t apply for the job and I know you are very inclusive so I thought I’d mention it. I find it hard to advocate for myself sometimes because I feel like I’m always asking for something special/different, so universal design for your team and any potential new teams members would be inclusive and thoughtful.

Ha these are great stories so much urinal lore in this thread!

There is a very handsome, old men’s urinal near the McMeniman’s restaurant in Kalama, WA. My brother in law made me come look at it 🙂

I worked at a mansion that had this urinal, and while I don’t know if I would call it beautiful exactly, it definitely felt elevated and intentional–that arch especially! This was in the main powder room by the front door, too.

I recently watched a season of the great pottery throwdown where they made urinals. Great show and a funny and clever episode.

I’ve only ever been in one woman’s shelter, and it was for work, but it had security and bullet proof glass at the entrance. And that’s in Canada (fewer guns). A lot of women are homeless due to domestic violence. It’s a nice thought though.

Universal Design for the win! Learned that in design school 25 years ago.
