Sustainable Design Strategies

Site Planning

The building design integrates very nicely with the natural environment and makes the best use of the existing site conditions. The site location was wisely selected to be at the hilltop where the cutting of existing topography was minimized, and at the same time, panoramic view towards the Tai Lung Farm and the Hong Kong Golf Club was maximized.

Minimal Land-take Impact

Building footprint was spread with necessary area for adequate provisions only. Profile of original terrain was best maintained with minimal disturbance

Preservation of Existing Site

Building Shape is developed with respect to the topographical contours Soil Balance of the Cut & Fill to minimize the dumping.

Preservation of Existing Trees & Landscape

Preserved trees are well-protected during the construction period. Building bulks are positioned to achieve minimal cutting of existing well-grown trees.

Harmony to Existing Environment

Use of native species in compensatory landscaping design Maximize the provisions of roof garden and landscaped terrace
