Bamboo Pavilion Toilet Renovation

Manuel Lap Yan Lam's Bamboo Pavilion Toilet Renovation project has transformed the public bathroom experience in Macau. The design draws inspiration from the traditional bamboo scaffolding used in Macau's construction industry, with a façade constructed from white aluminum tubes arranged in a staggered manner, creating a translucent shell that seamlessly blends with its natural surroundings. The innovative design allows natural light and ventilation to permeate the interior, enhancing the overall user experience.

The Bamboo Pavilion subverts the typical perception of public bathrooms in Macau, addressing issues of cleanliness, moisture, and odors. By reorganizing the plan, redesigning the façade, and integrating sustainable principles, the project reconnects the cultural, human, and natural elements, setting a new standard for public facilities.

The project, completed within two months, is situated at the highest point of the Taipa Grande Hill Park, offering a unique and sustainable solution to the existing public bathroom structure. The design team, led by Manuel Lap Yan Lam and Scarlett Li, overcame challenges to enhance functionality and appearance while maintaining the original footprint of the facility.
