About Bamboo Pavilion Toilet Renovation Primêre Funksie: Openbare Badkamer

Bamboe-paviljoen is 'n openbare badkamer in die Taipa Grande Heuwelpark in Macau, geskep deur die opknapping van 'n toe fasiliteit. Die nuwe gebou hergebruik die bestaande struktuur en fondament, sodat die voetspoor onveranderd bly. Die fasade herinterpreteer die bamboe-steierwerk wat lank reeds in Macau gebruik word. Honderde wit aluminiumbuise is versprei rondom die gebou gerangskik om 'n deurskynende dop te vorm. Daglig gaan deur die dop na die binnekant, terwyl behoue dakligte en pasgemaakte skuins vensters met geïntegreerde openinge die kruisventilasie verbeter. Die opknapping is binne twee maande voltooi.

Unique Properties: Bamboo Pavilion is a public renovation project that we designed to subvert the perception of a typical public bathroom in Macau, which is dirty, wet and smelly. The original facility was an enclosed building setting apart from the natural surroundings. The Bamboo Pavilion, a new design, is built on existing structure and foundation. By reorganizing the plan, by redesigning the façade and by reintroducing sustainable principles, the broken link between culture, human and nature are reconnected.

Design Challenge: The challenge is to increase its functionality and to enhance its appearance while maintaining size of its footprint.
Inspiration: Façade of the Bamboo Pavilion is a re-intrepretation of bamboo scaffolding that Macau industry have used since. Hundreds of white aluminum tubes are arranged in a staggered manner surround the structure forming a translucent shell blends in with nature. Bathroom space is turned inside out. Light rays shine through the façade to the interior; daylight and ventilation are enhanced by preserving the skylights and by tailor made slanted windows that integrated openings to enhance cross ventilation.
Project Duration: The project is located at the highest point of the Taipa Grande Hill Park, Macau. This renovation project is completed within 2 months.
