About Bamboo Pavilion Toilet Renovation Primær funktion: Offentligt toilet
Bambuspavillonen er et offentligt toilet i Taipa Grande Hill Park i Macau, skabt gennem renovering af en lukket facilitet. Den nye bygning genanvender den eksisterende struktur og fundament, så bygningens grundplan forbliver uændret. Facaden nyfortolker det bambusstillads, der længe har været anvendt i Macau. Hundredvis af hvide aluminiumsrør er forskudt placeret omkring bygningen for at danne en gennemskinnelig skal. Dagslys trænger gennem skallen ind i det indre, mens bevarede ovenlysvinduer og skræddersyede skrå vinduer med integrerede åbninger forbedrer krydsventilationen. Renoveringen blev færdiggjort på to måneder.

- 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.
