The public bathroom has long been the forgotten zone of design - efficient, functional yet often completely soulless. But that’s changing.
In 2026, architects are being asked to consider not just what works, but what resonates - especially in childcare, daycare and school bathrooms. And the Ramp Basin by Stonebaths is meeting that moment.
A Minimalist Alternative to the Boxy Vanity
Forget clunky vanities and wall-hung rectangles. The Ramp is pared back, sculptural, and quietly assertive. Designed for both wall mounting and bench integration, its sloped form channels water with elegance — no ridges, no over-design, just a simple, solid gesture in the space. It’s a piece you spec because you care about restraint as much as performance.
Space-Efficient, Detail-Rich
In schools, early learning centres, and civic spaces, the Ramp offers spatial intelligence. Its slim profile allows for side-by-side install without overcrowding the wall or disrupting floor plan logic. For grouped installations, it reads as one consistent visual element — making it ideal for high-traffic spaces where cohesion matters.
The Ramp Junior - Designed with Young Users in Mind
For schools and childcare environments, the Ramp Basin solves multiple challenges in one gesture. Its integrated slope and wide basin reduce splash and blockages - a win for both facility managers and cleaning staff. The soft-edged design is child-safe, with no exposed corners or undercuts to bump into.
Practical Meets Playful
When paired with custom-height joinery or coloured tapware, the Ramp adds a visual softness to institutional settings without compromising function. It’s easy to clean, resistant to scratches, and hard-wearing - critical in spaces where daily use is heavy.
The Junior Round Trough
It’s Not Just Durable. It’s Stonebaths Durable.
Architects know materials matter most when no one’s looking. The Ramp is cast in Stonebaths’ proprietary solid surface — UV-stable, non-porous, and unbothered by commercial-level wear and tear. The kind of product that still looks resolved after years of use.
For Projects That Need to Work Hard - and Look Good Doing It
We’ve seen the Ramp specified in childcare centres where visual softness and safety coexist. We’ve seen it in art galleries and public pavilions where material language and compliance had to shake hands. It’s flexible without being forgettable.
