Background:
Soho district is uniquely blended with chic restaurants and historical elements. Despite the packed buildings,there are tiny areas, though hardly being designed for comfortable use, serves as resting places for locals living nearby.

This project is to revitalize these tiny "gems" in Soho , providing a comfortable open space with identity for local people.

Site:
Kwong Hong Terrace, Soho, Central, Hong Kong

 

Idea:
1. Maximise the drama by using the large level difference of the site & the vertical white trunk of the Eucalyptus tree to create 2 features: waterfall & Eucalyptus terrace.

2. Use concept of solid & void to create 2 enclosed space for privacy: children's playground & Eucalyptus terrace.

3. Enhance the identity of Kwong Hong Terrace by using group sculptures in the image of old times local residents

4. Highlight & preserve 2 stone-wall trees
