Hong Kong Integer Pavilion

The project was initiated by the Hong Kong SAR and the British Governments, INTEGER Intelligent & Green Ltd., Swire Properties, Gammon Skanska, CLP Power, the Hong Kong Housing Authority and the Hong Kong Housing Society. The INTEGER principles, which means intelligent & Green, include ideas on construction innovation, sustainable materials, green technologies, intelligent systems, and the layout, orientation, shape and appearance of a residence. Initially the idea was to fit out an existing empty shell in a residential block, but the idea quickly developed to construct a new apartment within an exhibition pavilion and a model of a 40-storey building is on display demonstrating initiatives used in the Integer Hong Kong Pavilion applied to a potential high-rise development.
