Public building bears a significant social responsibility. We build for the
PEOPLE. Throughout the design and construction process, we have kept
in close contact with the Client department (Home Affairs Department)
and the District Council, and refine the details to meet user’s need.
To further enhance community participation, we have organized a
joint function “Action Seedling” with the adjacent school, Estate
Management and District Councilors. Students and tenants were
given young seedlings to nurse until ready for planting in the estate
flower bed.
To create a green environment for the user, we make the best use of the
Site’s environmental advantages-
• Slope and Greenery – the Site abuts to the green slope and enjoys
quiet surrounding due to its set back from main street. We reduce
cut slope, preserve existing trees, provide roof and vertical greening,
to blend the building with the surrounding greenery.
• View and Light – the Site enjoys a panoramic view of the distant hill,
green valley, Shing Mun River and new town. The north-facing full
height window brings in natural daylight to the entrance foyer and
multi-purpose hall, maximizes view to the surrounding Nature.
• Wind and Air – the building creates a ‘Canyon Effect’ with the slope,
which increase local wind speed to enhance natural ventilation.
Our Collaborator, Centre for Housing Innovations, The Chinese
University of Hong Kong, utilized the technology of Computational
Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to study the natural ventilation performance
on various design options and came up with the optimum location
and configuration of the wind guiding panels and wind scoops, to
achieve the targeted indoor air quality and thermal comfort.
We believe, through the use and experience in the Green Building, the
new generation will enjoy and build up their love for Nature.
