The project is an 18-storey institutional building for The Hong Kong
Polytechnic University - Hong Kong Community College (Hung Hom
Bay Campus) for the pre-tertiary education programme. The college is
located opposite to the Student Hostels of The Hong Kong Polytechnic
University at junction of Hung Lai Road and Hung Lok Road in Hung
Hom. The project aims at providing a dynamic and interactive space for
education while incorporating the sustainable design considerations.
The conspicuous form could be easily perceived from the vicinity and
along the footbridge to the nearby Student Hostels adjacent to the
Royal Peninsula Complex. The form is composed of various teaching
blocks stacked spirally in the air, which are separated with sky gardens at
different levels. The various blocks have different degrees of opacity. The
degree of opacity is made possible by varying the density of ceramic
painted with dots patterned glass and the solid volumes which are
represented by the traditional Polytechnic University crimson brown
tiles. The opacity controls the degrees of direct sunlight casting into the
interior of the building with different degrees of intensity.
The continuous spiral-chain of communal sky gardens could be
perceived along the tower block periphery extending from the lowerground
floor to the upper-most floors. The gardens enrich the building
elevation with a natural, pleasant environment and help to create a
special open learning and vegetated communal environment.
A flexible modular system of communal spaces capable for future
transformation has been developed to facilitate the need of adaptability
and flexibility with public spaces provided with greenery for interaction.
The modular system also enables the building to be the first institutional
highrise building in Hong Kong that adopts full pre-cast construction
system. The system minimizes wastes during the construction period
and additional finishes required for the interior decoration.
