The Kit-of-Parts Approach

​

In contrast to the prevailing Modular Integrated Construction (MiC), where all fittings and prefinished material are housed within an envelope, the project adopts the Kit-of-Parts approach in three tiers, the MiC components, volumetric roof and facades (DfMA) and planar pre-fabricated infill panels (DfMA).

The Permeable Skin

​

Good ventilation is the key to no foul smell and dry floor for public toilets. Exhaust fan at pipe duct extracts air at odour source with direct exhaust via vent shaft to eliminate foul smell. This will at the same time induces negative pressure within toilets. With louver panels as façade components, fresh air infiltrates from both low and high levels. The curved profile of louvre blades also helps to diffuse sunlight to avoid glare. The daylight harvesting together with natural ventilation enhance human comfort.
