About Bamboo Pavilion Toilet Renovation Función Principal: Baño Público
O Pavillón de Bambú é un baño público no Parque da Colina Taipa Grande en Macau, creado a través da renovación dunha instalación pechada. O novo edificio reutiliza a estrutura e a cimentación existentes, polo que a superficie ocupada permanece inalterada. A fachada reinterpreta os andamios de bambú empregados desde hai tempo en Macau. Centos de tubos de aluminio branco dispóñense de forma alterna arredor do edificio para formar unha envolvente translúcida. A luz do día atravesa a envolvente cara ao interior, mentres que os tragaluces conservados e as fiestras inclinadas feitas á medida con aberturas integradas melloran a ventilación cruzada. A renovación completouse en dous meses.

- 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.
