UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Trident is a public toilet built by customizing the "product standardization process",unified visual+modularity+humanization+technolog
y,to bring users a better sense of experience.
Different from ordinary public toilets,a photovoltaic power generation system is specially set up on the roof of Trident , which can also provide power support for the surrounding residents to use the environment, while satisfying the basic conditions of the public toilets' own electricity.
