[Overview] [Stanley Waterfront Improvement Project] [Ping Shan Tang Clan Gallery] [Caritas Lok Kan School]
Some of our notable projects of 2008 are as follows:
The Hong Kong Pavilion is located at the southern side of the China Pavilion of the Shanghai World Expo venue. The Pavilion has the theme "Hong Kong - A City of Unlimited Potential" and contains a number of green building features.
received the following award in the Hong Kong Institute of Architects Annual Award 2008: 'Special Architectural Award - Urban Design'
The Tamar Development Project covers the construction of the Central Government Complex, (CGC), the Legislative Council Complex as well as an open space, two covered pedestrian footbridges and other ancillary facilities. The Green Carpet of about two hectares in size will provide the public with a spacious and landscaped open space at the harbourfront for their enjoyment.
The Tamar Development Project is being built as a green and sustainable project. Architecturally, disposition of the buildings forms a major breezeway from the harbour to the inner city area. The design of the CGC Office Block as an "Open Door" with principal north-south orientation optimises the harness of daylight and inter-block shading against sunlight for indoor spaces; it also enhances visual permeability through the site and maintains good air ventilation in the area. In addition, a variety of green features and energy saving features have been adopted, including green roofs/sky gardens, photovoltaic panels, water features, vertical planting, sea water cooled chiller plants, motion/daylight sensor control for lighting, on-demand escalators, water tap with infra-red sensor, etc.

The Hong Kong Pavilion, themed "Hong Kong - A City of Unlimited Potential", is located to the south of the China Pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo venue. It is a free standing structure with a site area of 637 square meters and an exhibition area of about 800 square meters. One of the sustainable design features is the folded aluminium cladding. This is located in front of the glass façade in order to allow air to flow across the glass surface to cool the building down during the hot summer months of the exhibition period.
The improvement works to Morse Park Amphitheatre received a special mention in ArchSD Annual Award 2008. They were regarded as a nice piece of minor works which replaced the previous pavilion that had been the roof for the original Blake Pier. The building and roof structure though small in scale, have made use of an architectural language that best suited their purposes and have shown a sculptural quality that is both simple and appropriate.
Lung Fu Shan Environmental Education Centre was converted from a previous government quarter bungalow located in Sai Ying Pun. It is a successful example of a heritage conservation project as it not only provides a new function for a historic building, but also prevents additional construction waste from being generated by its demolition.
