Introdução
Roca One Day Design Challenge celebrated its third edition in Shanghai on November 23th. The renowned international Roca contest was held at Roca Shanghai Gallery with the participation of over 240 architecture and design students and professionals.
They all had to face the time-trial challenge of designing or redesigning a bathroom product adapted to tiny houses. The proposals had to solve the lack of space by any means, maintaining the usability and functionality and favoring easy cleaning and maintenance.
OASIS by Funi Ding and Haidy Gong was awarded with the first prize of 12,000RMB and with the We Are Water Foundation price given to the project with special focus on sustainability. The project consists of a multifunctional product that collects water from the sink to flush the toilet. Many elements can rotate for easy cleaning and space flexibility. Oasis combines functionality, beauty, and flexibility.
I-BATH, by Yihong Dai and Ruipeng Dong, received the second prize of 8,000RMB. It is a project. that stands out for being inspired by trees and aiming to enhance the user experience. “It shows a unique spatial concept and innovatively proposes a spatial solution that makes full use of the central pipeline, which is creative and practical. A very interesting way to organize a bathroom where all the functions are supplied using one single central pipe,” were the comments of the jury.
The project STREAMLINED by Yixuan Ye and Yudi Li, has won the third prize of 5,000RMB, which suggests a cleaner and hygienic new bathroom space, with a streamline that separates the shower from the basin room and a foldable design of shower and basin that can save room.
