About Bamboo Pavilion Toilet Renovation 公共卫生间
竹棚是位于澳门氹仔大潭山郊野公园内的一座公共卫生间，由一座封闭式设施改造而成。新建筑沿用原有结构与基础，因此建筑占地面积保持不变。立面设计重新诠释了澳门长期沿用的竹棚脚手架工艺，数百根白色铝管错落有致地环绕建筑，形成半透明的外壳。日光穿过外壳洒入室内，而保留的天窗与量身定制、整合开启扇的斜向窗户则改善了空气对流。整项改造工程于两个月内完成。

- 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.
