Designing Dignity: Embracing Inclusivity in Public Restrooms

In our rapidly aging society, inclusivity isn’t just a buzzword—it’s an essential design principle that ensures dignity for all. Today, we’re spotlighting the transformative initiative by Active Aging to convert standard toilets into Accessible Changing Rooms (ACRs), championing the cause of accessibility for individuals with diverse needs.

Imagine public restrooms where flexibility meets functionality—where every individual, regardless of their physical abilities, can use facilities safely and comfortably. That’s what ACRs are all about. They feature height-adjustable equipment that caters to wheelchair users and others who require assistance.

But why should we care? Because inclusivity in design reflects our values as a society. It’s about acknowledging that everyone has the right to move through public spaces with ease and dignity—whether they’re aging gracefully or living with disabilities.

Let’s rally together to support this cause because when we design for inclusivity, we uplift entire communities. It’s time to transform our public restrooms into spaces that truly cater to everyone.

Together, let’s make inclusivity more than just an intention—let’s make it our reality

The inherent flexibility of our solutions makes the room more accessible and work-friendly because of the efficient use of space.

Care for Users

We want to help physically-impaired usersessible toilets as possible thus making our society more disabled-friendly.

Products can then move, sideways OR up/down, to suit the user – whether he or she is a child or adult, seated or standing.

The system’s innovative design, choice of materials and attention to detail make it easy to integrate into the room without compromising on functionality, comfort and design.

These assistive devices enables you to look after yourself in safe and stylish surroundings thus giving you more energy and support to get through the day.
