About Ocean Vista Public Toilet Renovation 公衆トイレ
オーシャン・ヴィスタは、マカオ・路環（コロアネ）の海岸沿い遊歩道に位置し、海を望む丘の斜面に建つ公衆トイレの改修プロジェクトである。既存のコンクリート構造物の同一敷地面積内で、内部の動線計画を再構成し、新たな機能的要素を加えた。展望デッキ、バルコニーの座席スペース、そしてロングベンチにより、訪れる人々は海を眺め、夜には星を観察することができる。茶色と赤みを帯びた新設要素は、海岸遊歩道に見られる鉱物に覆われた岩肌から着想を得ている。新たな要素に刻まれたラインが陽光を濾過し、移ろう光と影を生み出している。

- 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.
