| DESIGN NAME: Bamboo Pavilion Toilet Renovation PRIMARY FUNCTION: Public Bathroom 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. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: 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. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: - PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project is located at the highest point of the Taipa Grande Hill Park, Macau. This renovation project is completed within 2 months. |
