该盥洗室的设计引入了欧洲城市规划中的广场和小巷，并试图打造典雅静谧的太古汇私享盥洗空间。层次分明的拱券结构为空间提供了复杂又统一的框架。拱券结构在空间里或延展或收缩，构架出不同的功能区域。各层拱券逐次递接并在顶部弯曲形成天花板。它们如同整齐排列的肋骨，营造出干净明亮的内部氛围。光从骨架中渗透过来，如同城市中阳光与小巷的互相渗透。全新打造的水磨石地板与压碎的聚合物混搭在一起，营造出户外铺装的效果。而悬挂在顶部的绿植则时刻提醒着人们空间里的拱券结构。

We wish to create an experience of outdoor alleys and plaza – a reminiscence to European elegance and fineness – to this premium washroom amidst top brand shops in TaiKoo Hui(GZ).Layering and arches are used to give a unifying and intricate framework for these outdoor spaces. The arches contracts and expands to give spaces of different dimensions. Each layer curves up as the ceiling, like a rib to give a white and ‘cyclorama’ setting for a bright and clean ambience. Light diffuses down between the ribs, as if sunlight diffuses from above. The newly-casted terrazzo flooring with crushed aggregates mimic the outdoor hardscape. The application of hanging greens on the arched walls helps emphasize an arcade-like space.

盥洗室以两条长长的拱廊开始。拱券引领着人穿行在小径，并抵达一个空旷的梳妆空间。洗手池和梳妆镜嵌入在拱券的夹缝中，或凸起或凹陷，在空间中展开趣味性的对话。黑色金属框架嵌入白色拱券骨架中，突出了梳妆台在空间的地位。其中，每一个独立的梳妆台都搭配独立化妆灯、插座和USB充电插口以增强盥洗室整体的贵宾体验。在女士盥洗室里，育婴台与洗手池相连形成优美的曲线，如同空间雕塑一般。

The journey starts with 2 defined arch doorways, each leads into an alley of arches. The alley turns, and the arches expand into a plaza – the common dressing. Elements are expressed as insertions between the layers – wash basins and make-up counters as protrusions and the later as recessions to give the essential counter depths, while together forms an interesting dialogue. Black metal frames are inserted among the white layers, to highlight and give a prestigious definition to the individual counter unit. Each unit is equipped with ample make-up lights, sockets and an USB-charger, to enhance the VIP experience. In the female plaza, a serpentine ties together the wash basins and the baby-caring counter, as a sculptural piece of furniture.

随脚步继续前行，来访者便步入布满灯光和绿植的空间里。拱券依然是此空间的惯用符号，而分设拱券两边的门则将人引入独立的盥洗空间。拱券结构定义了两个长向区域，其中之一用作卫生设备，另一个则用作纯净的通行区域。自始至终拱券结构都贯穿了该盥洗室的设计，变化的曲率与跨度，变化的角度和方向，镜面、照明以及其他内部装饰的相互作用，令空间在变化的光影里获得统一。

The journey continues with contracted arches forming a path, with street lights on both sides and plants hanging from above. Inserted between the layers are doorways to the individual cubicles. The arch continues inside this private realms and gives an intimate atmosphere. The arch define 2 longitudinal zones, one for all the sanitary fittings and one for pure space. The forest of arches accompany the whole journey. The varying curvature and span, the changing direction, the interaction with mirror frames, street lights and other insertions, give a variety of silhouettes yet a unifying experience.

为了让来访者获得最佳的体验感，该空间以明亮、清新和舒适的氛围作为设计主旨。盥洗池采用回收水来维持空间功能的正常运行，实现了水资源的回收利用。悬挂在顶部的绿植，强调了空间的自然氛围。一体化水龙头、干手器、免冲洗小便池，节水马桶，电力的使用及节约等，为当代商业盥洗室树立了良好的模型典范。

To maximize human comfort, the space is designed to provide a clean, bright and comfortable medium with a hint of nature for the visitors. Supported by an internal drainage system that reuses greywater, greens hang lightly from above, adding gentle strokes of a natural hue to the internal space. The design adopt the previous drainage layout, to minimize alterations and wastage. Integrated water tap cum hand dryer, waterless urinal, water-saving WC and vacuum toilet are applied to reduce water consumption, electricity usage and wastage – with the vision of setting a new paradigm for the commercial typology.
