About Bamboo Pavilion Toilet Renovation Primêre Funksje: Iepenbier Toilet

Bamboo Pavilion is in iepenbier toilet yn it Taipa Grande Hill Park yn Macau, makke troch de renovaasje fan in ôfsletten foarsjenning. It nije gebou brûkt de besteande struktuer en fûnemint opnij, sadat de fuotôfdruk ûnferoare bliuwt. De gevel jout in nije ynterpretaasje fan de bamboestelâzje dy't al lang yn Macau brûkt wurdt. Hûnderten wite aluminium buizen binne fersprate om it gebou hinne pleatst om in trochskinende skil te foarmjen. Deiljocht komt troch de skil nei binnen, wylst bewarre deiljochtramen en op maat makke skeane finsters mei yntegreare iepeningen de krúsfentilaasje ferbetterje. De renovaasje waard yn twa moannen ôfrûne.

Behind the Design

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.
Tags: public toilet, public, architecture, renovation, macau
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.
