Architectural designer Isabel Strauss has designed a public bathroom for the grounds of German-American architect Walter Gropius 's self-designed home in Massachusetts , USA, chosen from hundreds of submissions.

Strauss designed the winning submission for the contest initiated by preservation organisation Historic New England with her design called One Bathroom After Another, which mirrors the footprint of an existing garage on the site.

This sits at the end of the drive that leads from the road to the house in Lincoln, which was designed in 1938 by Gropius, founder of the radical architecture school the Bauhaus , for his family after they fled Nazi-controlled Germany.

Strauss's design was informed heavily by both the concepts taught by Gropius at the Bauhaus and by the site.
