Bamboo Pavilion Toilet Renovation

Public Bathroom for the Volks Design & Research Consulting Ltd.

The Bamboo Pavilion is a public renovation project that is 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 top of the existing structure and foundation. The idea is to reconnect the broken link between culture, human and nature in a public facility by reorganizing the plan to enhance functionalities and by applying bamboo-like construction tectonics to correspond with its natural surroundings.

Design Challenge

The challenge is to increase its functionality and to enhance its appearance while maintaining size of its footprint.

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.

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.
