About Ocean Vista Public Toilet Renovation Feidhm Bhunúsach: Leithreas Poiblí

Téacs Leabhair: Is athchóiriú é Ocean Vista ar leithreas poiblí atá suite feadh an chosáin chósta i Coloane, Macao, ar leataobh cnoic os comhair an aigéin. Rinneadh eagar inmheánach an fhoirgnimh a atheagrú agus cuireadh gnéithe feidhmiúla nua leis an struchtúr coincréite atá ann cheana, laistigh den lorg céanna. Ligeann ardán amhairc, limistéar suíochán ar an bhalcóin agus binse fada do chuairteoirí féachaint amach ar an aigéan agus na réaltaí a fhaire istoíche. Tá na gnéithe nua donna agus deargbhuí faoi thionchar na gcarraigreacha atá clúdaithe le mianraí feadh an chosáin chósta. Scagann na línte sna gnéithe nua solas na gréine agus cruthaíonn siad solas agus scáth a bhíonn ag athrú de shíor.

Unique Properties: Ocean Vista is a public toilet renovation project located along the coastal trail at Coloane Macau on the hillside facing the ocean. By reorganizing the interior layout and introducing new functional elements on top, the new design not only optimizes the functions of a public bathroom, but also it brings human closer to nature. By providing a viewing platform to enjoy the ocean, a balcony seating to observe the stars at night and a long bench to chill - it is an authentic public space for all.

Design Challenge: The challenge is to reorganize the interior spatial layout and introduce new functional elements upon existing concrete structure in the same footprint. Our goal is to convert it beyond its simple function and to subvert the perception of a typical public bathroom in Macau, which is dark, dirty, messy, and smelly.
Inspiration: The exterior renovation is inspired by the rocks along the coastal trail. Due to salty sea breeze, layers of minerals adhered to the surface forming very special brown and reddish rocks in this region. The new functional elements adhere to the existing structure like minerals; its form and its color echo with the rock and with the natural surroundings. The rhythm of lines that shaped the add-on features filter sunlight forming a movement of light and shadows where human meets nature.
Project Duration: This project is located in Coloane Macau and is completed in May 2021 within 2 months of renovation period.
