About Ocean Vista Public Toilet Renovation 公共洗手間
海之景係一個位於澳門路環沿海步道嘅公共洗手間翻新項目,坐落喺面向大海嘅山坡上。設計喺原有嘅混凝土結構同建築面積內,重新規劃咗室內布局,並加入咗新嘅功能元素。一個觀景平台、一個陽台座位區同一條長凳,讓遊人可以望到大海,亦可以喺夜晚觀星。新增添嘅棕色同赤紅色元素,靈感嚟自沿海步道上覆蓋礦物嘅岩石。新增設施上嘅線條可以過濾陽光,營造出流動嘅光影效果。

- 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.
