Before this practise, it is found in the survey data of some scenic spots that tourists' complaints about restrooms are second only to the cost-effectiveness of tickets. The construction and management of public restrooms is always a neglected bug in cities and cultural tourism scenic spots. Therefore, architects hope to solve this problem here.
Located in a corner of Atour Village town square, where the sight is captured by three themed buildings, leaving no independent space for the public restroom, architects used earth-covered construction and a pure white courtyard to complete the connection with the main square, so that the privacy and identification of the public restroom can be balanced.
There is a 7-meter-high cliff between the pedestrian street and the square. From the view of upper level, the earth-covered top and plants together play a good transition, and avoid the direct landing of large steps between the street and the square. From the square view, this semi-enclosed courtyard is like a deep pit on the hillside, and visitors can only see the building after entering.
As for the facade design, all doors and windows are hidden behind arc walls, the four functional entrances are navigated with signs. Arc-shaped white composite aluminum panels are vertically stitched together, and the 7-meter-high integral panel is very suitable for this single surface. Under the rough outer walls and jungle cover, visitors enter a chiseled quarry pit, where the sun shines brightly and cleanly, and the seamless texture of the surface enhances the experience.
The plan layout is intensiveto avoid some redundancy of value justice. The design focus on adding the infant room and the third restroom, as well as the concealed treatment of air conditioners. In addition, two small atriums are embedded for natural light and ventilation.
