About Bamboo Pavilion Toilet Renovation Fonksyon Prensipal: Twalèt Piblik

Bamboo Pavilion se yon twalèt piblik nan Pak Taipa Grande Hill nan Macau, ki te kreye atravè renovasyon yon enstalasyon fèmen. Nouvo bilding lan reitilize estrikti ak fondasyon ki egziste deja, konsa anprint sou tè a rete menm jan. Fasad la reentèprete echafodaj banbou yo te itilize depi lontan nan Macau. Dè santèn tib aliminyòm blan yo mete an dezòd toutotou bilding lan pou fòme yon kokiy transparan. Limyè jou a pase atravè kokiy la nan enteryè a, pandan ke fenèt sou tèt ki te konsève ak fenèt panche fèt sou mezi ak ouvèti entegre amelyore ventilasyon kwaze a. Renovasyon an te fini nan de mwa.

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.
