Tin Shui Wai New Public Market
Taking inspiration from the vitality of Tin Shui Wai’s natural landscape, the first elevated public market in Hong Kong has been introduced with natural terracing forms, feature canopies, and urban landscaping design that resemble sprouting seeds. In contrast to the obsolete conventional market design, integration of MiC stalls, multiple landscaped public open spaces, event spaces, and an iconic hydroponic farm promote a friendly neighborhood with social sustainable place for community. The new market will serve as a new urban center of the district, where present-day market culture is reinterpreted as a community hub for everyday grocery shopping, production of fresh produce, and public enjoyment.
Po Leung Kuk Choi Kai Yau School
Po Leung Kuk Choi Kai Yau School is a through-train school with both primary and secondary divisions. We believe a school is place to learn, an opportunity to encounter the world around oneself at a primary level. Located atop of a hill site overlooking the Kowloon peninsula with unparalleled panoramic views over the surrounding mountain range, the building massing spawns spontaneously with the ‘Fan’ shape of Caldecott Hill. The voids derived from this unique building form is again replenished with light, air, and other elements of nature, bringing in life to the new classrooms and allowing interaction to physically take place between the students and the environment they are exposed to, engaging nature into the process of learning, again.
West Kowloon Government Offices
On completion, the proposed twin towers will provide over 79,000 square meters of office space for the government, as well as a number of arts and educational venues. The notion of an open and transparent government is fully conveyed via a series of carefully formulated and interconnected civic spaces and public platforms throughout the buildings to encourage community engagement and promote cultural awareness. As a threshold between one of the oldest settlement on Kowloon Peninsula and the fading waterfront to the west, every effort is exploited to re-establish the connection between the people, the government and Hong Kong’s ever-elusive shoreline.
