About Bamboo Pavilion Toilet Renovation Funzjoni: Kamra tal-Banju Pubblika

Bamboo Pavilion huwa kamra tal-banju pubblika fil-Park tal-Għoljiet Taipa Grande f'Macau, maħluqa permezz tar-rinnovazzjoni ta' faċilità magħluqa. Il-bini l-ġdid jerġa' juża l-istruttura u l-pedament eżistenti, u għalhekk il-marka tal-bini tibqa' l-istess. Il-faċċata terġa' tinterpreta l-armar tal-bambu li ilu jintuża f'Macau. Mijiet ta' tubi tal-aluminju abjad huma mqiegħda b'mod imħarbat madwar il-bini biex jiffurmaw qoxra trasluċida. Id-dawl tax-xemx jgħaddi mill-qoxra għal ġewwa, filwaqt li s-skylights ippreservati u twieqi mmejlin magħmulin apposta b'fetħiet integrati jtejbu l-ventilazzjoni inkroċjata. Ir-rinnovazzjoni tlestiet f'xahrejn.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

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.
