Overview

In One is a luxurious residential development with 844 units site atop Ho Man Tin MTR Station, it consists of 4 residential towers (24 to 25 storeys) with a 4-storeys podium accommodating a central podium park, clubhouse, swimming pool, car park and other ancillary facilities. In One is directly connected to the MTR station concourse via the shuttle lift tower to a new Integrated Entrance. The design of the Integrated Entrance went through different stages of process and approvals were obtained from relevant Government Departments and Committees including “Safety and Security Coordinating Committee (SSCC)” and the “Station and Transport Integration Committee (STIC)”.

Project challenges

In One is one of the two phases of Ho Man Tin Property Development, it has a clear boundary of its development area while it also shares some common facilities with another development within the same lot; although there is overlapping in construction phase for both developments, their anticipated completion is different. The sequence and timing of common facilities construction, the associated statutory submissions and interfacing treatments shall be thoughtfully coordinated and become core of the project.
Furthermore, In One sites atop the existing Ho Man Tin Station and partly sites on the sloping ground along Chung Hau Street, particular attention shall be paid during the substructure works to avoid affecting the daily operation of Ho Man Tin Station.

Project solutions

Interfacing coordination with the consultant team of the adjoining development is crucial. The interfacing dialogue has begun at the early design stage to coordinate and compromise on statutory submissions as both phases share the total development potential. Regular interfacing meeting was hold throughout the design and construction process to exchange project information and design updates, especially for the interfacing treatments and studies.
