Prioritising Nature-integrated Design and Community Needs
The newly refurbished swimming pool complex at Kowloon Tsai Park revitalises the public facilities by harmonising community needs with ecological preservation. Designed to meet the demand for year-round swimming and competition events, the Complex offers community-centric amenities with tailored landscaping for diverse user groups, enhancing both recreational opportunities and the park’s ecological integrity.
Spanning an area of 16 132m2, the Complex features an indoor heated pool, a 1 200-seat spectator stand, an outdoor training pool, and a leisure pool, complemented by upgraded amenities such as changing facilities, an entrance hall, a filtration plant room and a pool management office. Prioritising inclusive and sustainable design, the project aims to promote healthy living through increased greenery coverage and accessibility features integrated across all spatial and landscaping elements to serve users of all abilities.
By adopting low-impact construction to minimise earthworks and material waste, alongside passive design strategies and energy-efficient systems, the project achieved a Provisional Gold Rating under the BEAM Plus New Buildings in recognition of its sustainable performance.
Key Features
The building height was restricted to 18.5 metres to minimise visual impact, while the rooftop garden offers visitors scenic views of the pool complex against lush greenery.
