About Bamboo Pavilion Toilet Renovation Primary Function: Ëffentlech Toilette
Book Text: De Bamboo Pavilion ass eng ëffentlech Toilette am Taipa Grande Hill Park zu Macau, entstanen duerch d'Renovéierung vun enger zouener Anlag. De neie Bau benotzt déi bestehend Struktur an de Fundament erëm, sou datt de Foussofdrock onverännert bleift. D'Fassad interpretéiert d'Bambusgerëscht nei, dat zu Macau schonn zënter laangem benotzt gëtt. Honnerte vu wäissen Aluminiumrouren sinn ronderëm de Gebai versat ugeuerdent fir eng transluzent Schuel ze bilden. D'Dagesliicht dréngt duerch d'Schuel an den Interieur, während erhalen Uewerliichter an op Mooss gemaach schréi Fënstere mat integréierten Öffnungen d'Querlëftung verbesseren. D'Renovéierung gouf a zwee Méint ofgeschloss.

- 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.
