A restroom pavilion
Crisscrossing ancient town streets, row upon row of roof clusters, peaceful and long rivers, and oncoming vitality are the impressions about Zhujiajiao Ancient Town1.
The project is located in a corner of Zhujiajiao Ancient Town, on the Dianpu River Bank, not far from Yuanjin Temple Wharf.
A men's and women's restroom with a double-slop roof from east to west was on the original site. However it needs to be upgraded in order to meet the evaluation criteria of AAA2 restroom.
Our strategy is to condense the overall impression of Zhujiajiao Ancient Town in this small house by the River.
The two corridors crossing are the traffic and cores of the building and the epitome of the streets in Town. No matter which direction you come to this area, you have to pass through a section of space under the corridor before reaching your destination. At the end of the corridors are the river, the street, the scenery wall, and the all gender restroom with transparent roof.
The low corridor in wide alley in the north-south direction is the main entrance of the building, connecting the streets and the River, transitioning from the bustling public streets to the private restroom spaces. Lower roof makes the space atmosphere under the corridor different from that in the Ancient Town streets. The high corridor in narrow alley is in the east-west direction, and the V-shaped roof of the corridor introduces light to weaken the sense of space of the towering and oppressive buildings on both sides.
Trapezoidal concave steel columns protrude from one side of the dovetail column base and converge at the top of corridor roofs. The two opposite sloping corridor roofs and the columns form a hanging relationship. Positions of the steel columns avoid the originally narrow passage space. The other side of the dovetail column base is integrated with the crosswalk under the corridor and is integrally poured to support the overhead walkway under the corridor.
The entrance of the corridor divides the volume of the old and new buildings with different slopes on the roof to form four new spaces: men's and women's restroom, all gender restroom, accessible restroom and dump station (office). The new space corresponds to the new slope roof form, combined with the staggered cross-corridor roof and the viewing pavilion, forming a rich roof relationship that responds to the surrounding environment.
The most moving scene in the Ancient Town is raindrops falling from the eaves. Rainwater falls along the eaves group into the pond on the ground, collects in the cross gutter under the trail, and merges into the river. Due to construction and maintenance reasons, the pool failed to store water, leaving bare stones daily, which is not the same as the envisioned house in the water. Another scene is not bad.
The pavilion is a rest place at the end of the corridor. You can enjoy the peaceful and long Dianpu River, the Ancient Town on the opposite side, the Fangsheng Bridge and Liming Bridge.
There is a distance between the site and the center of the Ancient Town. A traditional temple, a church, and a residential quarter across the street make up the surrounding environment which is relatively complicated. There is no baggage on the architectural style, and it is a small house that can be integrated into the environment with an independent personality. It was retaken after one year of construction and use. The small house has been well maintained and has become a daily routine for the nearby residents.
