Ocean Vista Public Toilet Renovation

Public Bathroom for the Volks Design Research & Consulting Ltd.

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 spatial layout and introducing new functional elements on top, the new design optimizes function of a public bathroom, and brings human closer to nature. The brown and reddish functional elements that adhere to existing structure are inspired by the rocks along the costal trail. The new viewing platform and seatings provide people a place to enjoy the ocean view and to observe the stars at night - it is an authentic public space.

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.

Project Duration

This project is located in Coloane Macau and is completed in May 2021 within 2 months of renovation period.

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.
