Some washrooms are being redesigned to appeal to a more global market, like the westernization of public restrooms in Beijing; others are turned into bizarre experiences such as washrooms with artistic urinals. Some even cater to niche markets like overweight demographics, environmentally conscious consumers or pet owners.
