This requirement occupies nearly one-third of the total site area, which may appear to impose limitations on the development of usable floor space.<br>This project represents a unique hybrid of a data center and workplace, intended to support the data centers in Tsuen Kwan O Industrial Estate while providing a collaborative working environment for the industry. The requirements outlined in the project brief are pioneering in the context of building development in Hong Kong. For instance, there are specific high headroom requirements for the workplace and exhibition spaces, which are essential for data technology development and showcasing new technological products. Additionally, dual provisions for building services, such as power supply and air-conditioning, are necessary to ensure uninterrupted building performance.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n                         \n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"alfk_box_right sh_1328 text\">\n    <div class=\"popup_image\">\n      <div class=\"alfk_box_top sh_797\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"text\" src=\"https:\/\/alkf.alignlab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/INTERIOR-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Hongkong Science and Technology_6\"\/>\n      <\/div>\n      <button class=\"apply_career apply_pop\" data-id=\"pop_index_1\">\n        <span class=\"btn-plus-pop\"><\/span>\n      <\/button>\n    <\/div>                        \n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"alfk_project_detail_content prd_sc7 reveal hover_mouse\">\n  <div class=\"alfk_box_left sh_1328 text\">\n    <div class=\"popup_image\">\n      <div class=\"custom\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/alkf.alignlab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/INTERIOR-5-684x1330.webp\" alt=\"Hongkong Science and Technology_4\" \/>\n      <\/div>\n      <button class=\"apply_career apply_pop\" data-id=\"pop_index_1\">\n        <span class=\"btn-plus-pop\"><\/span>\n      <\/button>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"alfk_box_right sh_1328 text\">\n    <div class=\"alfk_box_top sh_797\">\n      <div class=\"popup_image\">\n        <div class=\"custom\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/alkf.alignlab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/AERIAL-3-684x900.jpg\"  alt=\"Hongkong Science and Technology_5\" \/>\n        <\/div>\n        <button class=\"apply_career apply_pop\" data-id=\"pop_index_1\">\n          <span class=\"btn-plus-pop\"><\/span>\n        <\/button>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"prd_sc5\">\n  <div class=\"alkf_project_detail_tR reveal\">\n    <p class=\"text project-detail-alkf-text\">\n      Project Solutions    <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"alkf_project_detail_sc reveal no_margin_top\">\n    <div class=\"alkf_text_left text project_title_text_full_width\">\n      <div class=\"content\">\n        <p>We have turned these challenges into opportunities for the development. Instead of viewing the local open space requirement as a limitation, we have integrated it into our overall site planning to maximize the coverage of the tower. This, in turn, enhances the efficiency of the usable floor area. Additionally, we have utilized the space underneath the local open space to incorporate a car park. By spreading the car park footprint across the entire site, we have minimized the need for substantial basement excavation.<\/p><p>To facilitate these modifications, we assisted the client in the lease modification process, as the local open space is no longer solely dedicated to landscaping. It now serves the dual purpose of providing open space while accommodating a semi-sunken car park that utilizes natural ventilation for its operation. This configuration not only optimizes the use of space but also enhances the connectivity between street levels and the first floor, where exhibition and conference spaces are located.<\/p><p>Through strategic planning and the integration of different programs within the limited area, we have maximized the value of the development.<\/p><p>To meet both data centre and worksplace design requirements, we prepared justifications to demonstrate the genuine need for these features and engaged in discussions with the government departments, with the aim of not sacrificing any permitted floor area.<\/p><p>Ultimately, by maximizing the development potential and adhering to the specific design requirements, we successfully created a Data Technology Hub that fulfils its intended purpose. This hub provides a collaborative working environment for advanced technology development, contributing to the realization of re-industrialization efforts.<\/p>      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<!-- 3 col, 3 popup -->\n<div class=\"alfk_project_detail_gid prd_sc10\">\n  <div class=\"alfk_box alfk_box_left\">\n    <div class=\"popup_image\">\n      <div class=\"custom sh_797\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/alkf.alignlab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/INTERIOR-1-684x900.webp\" alt=\"Hongkong Science and Technology_7\"\/>\n      <\/div>\n      <button class=\"apply_career apply_pop\" data-id=\"pop_index_1\">\n        <span class=\"btn-plus-pop\"><\/span>\n      <\/button>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"alfk_box alfk_box_center\">\n    <div class=\"popup_image\">\n      <div class=\"custom sh_797\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/alkf.alignlab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DETAIL-1-684x900.webp\" alt=\"Hongkong Science and Technology_8\"\/>\n      <\/div>\n      <button class=\"apply_career apply_pop\" data-id=\"pop_index_1\">\n        <span class=\"btn-plus-pop\"><\/span>\n      <\/button>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"alfk_box alfk_box_right\">\n    <div class=\"popup_image\">\n      <div class=\"custom sh_797\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/alkf.alignlab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DETAIL-7-684x900.jpg\" alt=\"Hongkong Science and Technology_9\"\/>\n      <\/div>\n      <button class=\"apply_career apply_pop\" data-id=\"pop_index_1\">\n        <span class=\"btn-plus-pop\"><\/span>\n      <\/button>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Data Technology Hub is a pilot project spearheaded by Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) with the initiative to support the development of science and technology and the re-industrialization of Hong Kong.
