一个明亮的石窟–一个当代自然的抽象，让购物者在精致的服装和耀眼的商品中耳目一新，是我们对这个地下厕所的设计理念。

a contemporary abstraction of nature – to refresh shoppers amidst delicate garments and dazzling commodities, is our design concept for this underground toilet.

太古汇位于中国广州的商业中心，是一个集购物中心、两座甲级写字楼、酒店和服务式公寓于一体的综合体。该购物中心每天接待数万名游客，其配套设施需要升级。可持续设计的厕所旨在提高公共领域的环保意识，并成为商业和零售业可持续发展的榜样。设计的目的是在形式上和环境上回归自然。可持续发展、空间雕塑和人的舒适度推动了整个设计。

Situated in the commercial center of Guangzhou China, the TaiKoo Hui is a mixed use complex incorporating a shopping mall, two Grade-A office towers, a hotel, and serviced apartment. The shopping mall receives tens of thousands of visitors daily, and its amenity facilities require an upgrade. The sustainable design toilet aims to raise the environmental awareness in the public realm and to become the role model of sustainability in the commercial & retail sector. The design aims to tie back to nature, formally as well as environmentally. Sustainability, spatial sculpting and human comfort drive the whole design.

对原有的有效布局进行最小的改动，以减少结构和管道的改动。它由三个隔间、洗脸盆和小便池的走廊组成。墙面毛皮被拆除，”发现 “的圆形和倾斜的方形柱子被涂抹成一个均匀的白色体量，以独特的形状和角度参与空间，暗示底层结构。

Minimum alterations are made to the original efficient layout, to minimize structural and piping alteration. It consists of three corridors of cubicles, washbasins & urinals. Wall furring was removed, the ‘found’ round and tilted square columns are painted to form a homogenous white mass to engage the space with unique shape and angle that hint the underlining structures.

白色和 “回旋式 “设置的应用，给人一种明亮和干净的环境–墙壁与天花板无缝连接，光滑的曲面，为植物漫射光线，作为一般照明的双重功能。玻璃纤维增强石膏（GRG）板被用于形成弧形表面，因为其耐用性和使用回收材料。弯曲的边缘也消除了可能出现的黑暗、肮脏的边缘。

White and ‘cyclorama’ setting is applied to give a bright and clean ambient – walls join the ceiling seamlessly and smoothly with curved surfaces, to diffuse light for plants to duo-function as general lighting. Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum (GRG) panels are used to form the curved surfaces, for their durability and use of recycled materials. The curved edges also eliminate possible dark, dirty edges.

室内植物的种植，可以净化空气，提高室内含氧量，增加大自然的生命力和色彩。植物种植在人的水平之上，更好的管理和整洁。盆栽隐藏在GRG毛毯内，使植物形成纯绿色的笔触。灌溉利用从清洗池收集的灰水，并由当地的过滤系统支持。

Indoor plants are grown to purify air, raise indoor oxygen level, and add life and colors of nature. The plants are grown above human level for better management and tidiness. Pots are hidden inside the GRG furring, to enable the plants to form pure strokes of green. Irrigation utilizes grey water collected from the wash basins, supported by a local filtration system.

地面是新浇铸的深灰色水磨石。在这里，原有的砂岩和灰色瓷砖被粉碎后作为新水磨石的骨料，形成独特的银灰色碎片，以揭示循环利用的理念。
新的洗脸盆台是一个多合一的站台。白色的可丽耐板台面弯曲而上，与LED灯带、镜子和天花板连为一体，树形的图标与其收集灌溉用的灰水相呼应。 为了可持续发展和清洁，安装了一体化的水龙头兼干手器产品：避免台面和地面滴水，节省空间和纸巾。

The floor is a newly-casted dark grey terrazzo stone. Here the original sandstone and grey tiles are crushed as aggregates for the new terrazzo, forming unique silver grey chips to reveal the idea of recycle.
The new washbasin counter is an all-in-one station. The white corian counter curves up to join the LED lighting strip, mirror and ceiling as one integral piece, with a tree-shaped icon echoing to its collection of grey water for irrigation. An integrated water tap cum hand dryer product is installed for sustainability and cleanness: it avoids dripping water on counter-top and floor, saves spaces and paper towels.

无水小便器、节水型水柜及真空坐便器的应用，每天可节省80%的用水量，减少60%的垃圾量。增設兩台風扇，加強新鮮空氣流通，冬天取代機械式冷氣，夏天減少冷氣負荷。
婴幼儿护理室也进行了升级改造，完善了设施，并进行了游戏化设计。原有的布局进行了最小限度的改动，以留出一个座位区和一个额外的婴儿护理室，由此产生的曲折通道和简化的拱门延续了 “石窟 “的理念。

Waterless urinal, water-saving water-closet & vacuum toilet are applied to save water usage by 80%, and reduce waste volume by 60% on a daily basis. Two fans are added to enhance fresh air movement, to replace mechanical cooling in winter and to reduce the cooling load in summer.
The baby care rooms are also upgraded with improved facilities and a playful design. The original layout is given minimum alterations to allow for a seating area and an additional baby care room, the resulted kinked passage and simplified arches continue the ‘grotto’ idea.

在这个白色的石窟中，有很多房间的图案，每个房间都由一个简单的几何图形或主题组成，并通过不同高度的拱形开口–较高的是婴儿护理室，较低的是儿童厕所。

Within this white grotto are rooms of patterns, each consists of a simple geometry or theme, and led through arched openings of varying heights – higher ones for the baby care room, and lower ones for the children toilets.
