project background

The project is developed by Sun Hung Kai Properties in Wong Chuk Hang, right in the opposite of the future Wong Chuk Hang MTR station.

The project is a single tower commercial development accommodating a variety of functions, from kindergarten, retail, gathering spaces to offices. With a variety of functions the main challenges is how to reseolve the issues raised by the heavy vertical traffic as well as statutory requirements.

The project also make used of the practice notes in allowing flexible site coverage at different levels, which had allowed much room for the design of the facade. The client had wished to provide more outdoor spaces for the project to cope with the function, this provide further constraint as well as assets in the overall designing strategy.

Massing Concept

Making use of a setback approach, the site coverage can be relaxed at different height levels. The massing is like two interlocking puzzles and the recessed part is further differentiate into blocks. The set back area of these blocks can be further to be used as private balconies for the enjoyment of the building users.

The high zone with the nice views is mainly used for F&B. THe low zone with the larger floor plates are mainly for offices and gathering places. While to fulfil regulation requirements and practical concerns the kindergarten is located on the lowest floors.

To cope with the high zone and low zone lifts, the escape staircase is specially studied and make use of the floor height and maximize the efficiency of the building by aligning the location with the different zones of lifts.

project background

In 2008, the Government launched the Public Private Partnership Revitalization Scheme. The Youth Hostel Association was one of the interested party in converting one of the worn heritage, Mei Ho House, into a city youth hostel.

In the scheme, apart from the function as a normal functioning youth hostel, public access into the heritage is needed to be considered, through the provision of a visitor musuem.

The hostel is also required to function well as a normal hostel. unlike the original public housing which provide identical units. A range of units are provided in the proposal like single bed units and double / twin bed units. The project is finally completed in 2014.

ACADEMIC WORKS

space of justice To what category or academy does architecture lies? Some says culture, some says art, some consider architecture itself should deserve its category. The World Trade Centre is a total aesthetics example of the modern architecture of the time, 1970. It is on the otherhand “a symbol of capitalism” in contrast to the Islamic culture. The World Trade Centre is an aesthetic project as well as a political project.

The presence of architecture in city is undeniable. It is open there to discuss and to be discussed. When architect decide to take upon a project, architect is never the sole decision maker. What the architect is able to do is then the express his stance through the architecture. Whether the project addresses the cultural, the aesthetic or the political it is the decision of the architect. However it must be subjected to a different interpretation from peoples of different field.

The architectural thesis is statement of declaration of the architect about his stance for the specific topic. Defining the scope of topic to be discussed, from this point, it can then consider whether this stance can be further developed and sees the world with his own eye. The thesis is then the eye of the architect of his time.

randomnessRandomness is a very general phenomenon. Everything in daily life consists of various degrees of randomness within it. Though seems to be chaotic, this randomness usually share some similarities behind them, which we could refer them as “structure” and randomness happens within it.

Parametric design allows us to gain control over this structure. Theoretically, it would be possible to generate a parametric design able to describe architecture of certain type.

In this method of design, sensitivity to where control could be exerted is essential. First, one can control over randomness within given structure.Second it is the control over the structure.
