Conversion of Wing Shan Industrial Building, 428 Cha Kwo Ling Road, Yau Tong
Hong Kong

The proposed commercial tower is located in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui which is famous for busy shopping streets. The new 20-storey building would mainly be used as a Ginza-style retail and restaurant tower (with floor area about 13,000m²) to response to the needs for retail spaces in the district. Large curtain walls that showcase the activities inside the building are proposed to capture the shopping spirit of the place. In addition, the building façade are so articulated to respect the scale of the nearby existing buildings, which collectively shapes the old context of Tsim Sha Tsui. It is our attempt to reinterpret the authentic mood of Tsui Sha Tsui by adopting the said elevation treatment, as well as by incorporating vibrant lighting features into the façade design.
