Airport washrooms are usually designed for throughput. For a Groupe ADP tender, we asked a different question: could one of the most functional parts of the journey become a moment of clarity and care?
Working with two interior architects, I helped develop a concept combining spatial circulation, bespoke furniture and service design. My role was to translate the passenger experience into tangible details—from the central washbasin island and cabin valet to “Shower Land”, a bookable private shower service.

A utility space is still an experience
The brief combined constraints that often compete: fluid circulation, hygiene, intensive use and a sense of comfort. Instead of treating the sanitary area as a collection of standard fixtures, we designed it as part of the wider passenger journey.
Use movement to organise the room
We chose a central washbasin island as the organising element. Its circular geometry made routes more legible, opened movement around the space and created a clear shared focal point.
Design the moments people actually notice
Inside the cabins, I designed a wall-mounted valet that gives passengers a dedicated place for coats and personal belongings. It is a deliberately simple intervention, but one that improves both hygiene and comfort in a highly constrained space.
Extend the space into a service
I also developed “Shower Land”, a bookable private shower concept for travellers. This shifted the proposal beyond interior design: the physical environment became the foundation for a service answering a concrete need during long journeys and layovers.
Outcome
The proposal was not selected by Groupe ADP.
Its value in this portfolio is therefore not a claim of market impact, but the design reasoning it demonstrates: reading movement, hygiene and comfort as experience problems; translating them into spatial and product decisions; and extending a physical environment into a service.
It remains one of the clearest examples of how my industrial design background informs a broader approach to experience design.
