Promoting Wellness Through Design
As a cornerstone of Hong Kong’s 10-year Hospital Development Plan, the North District Community Health Centre Building is designed to enhance public primary care and community support. Operated jointly by the Hospital Authority, Department of Health and Social Welfare Department, this 10-storey, refurbished integrated facility spans approximately 9 000 m2, offering comprehensive, one-stop primary and community healthcare services for residents in the North District.
From spatial planning to optimised window-to-wall ratios and façade material selection, the building balances sustainable design with user comfort, addressing solar heat gain reduction, daylight optimisation, and neighbourhood views. Its innovative features—including energy-efficient double façades and wellness-promoting staircases—reflect a commitment to environmental stewardship and community well-being, catering to a growing and ageing population. This holistic approach earned the project Platinum certification under the BEAM Plus New Buildings assessment.
Key Features
Modernised facilities and vibrant “Loop of Life” design theme create a hopeful and joyful environment for visitors and the community. Each floor’s artistic touches reflect its mission to enhance the social well-being while meeting growing healthcare demands in the North District.
