About Bamboo Pavilion Toilet Renovation Primary Function: حەمامی گشتی

Book Text: کیۆسکی بامبوو حەمامێکی گشتییە لە پارکی گردی تایپا گراندە لە ماکاو، کە بە نۆژەنکردنەوەی دەزگایەکی داخراو دروستکراوە. بینا نوێیەکە پێکهاتە و بناغەی هەنووکەیی دووبارە بەکاردەهێنێتەوە، بۆیە شوێنگرتنەکەی وەک خۆی دەمێنێتەوە. ڕووکارەکە دووبارە لێکدانەوەی داربەستی بامبوو دەکات کە ماوەیەکی دوورودرێژە لە ماکاو بەکاردەهێنرا. سەدان لولەی ئەلومینیۆمی سپی بە شێوەیەکی نایەکسان بەدەوری بیناکەدا دەخرێن بۆ دروستکردنی توێکڵێکی نیمچە ڕووناک. ڕووناکی ڕۆژ بەناو توێکڵەکەدا دەڕوات بۆ ناوەوە، لەکاتێکدا سەقفە ڕووناکییە پارێزراوەکان و پەنجەرە لارە تایبەتدروستکراوەکان لەگەڵ کردنەوەی تێکەڵکراو، ڕەشەبای خاچەکی باشتر دەکەن. نۆژەنکردنەوەکە لە ماوەی دوو مانگدا تەواوکرا.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

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.
