Kowloon East Regional Headquarters ‘Takes Off’ in Kowloon, Hong Kong by FarrellsMarch 17th, 2021 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Farrells Farrells won the commission of this 47,000 sq.m. civic building project, a Hong Kong Government Design and Build contract, in 2013 as lead architectural consultant. The new Headquarters spans 16 floors and includes offices, vehicular area and ancillary facilities. Farrells handled meticulously the design of this new integrated complex which combines functionality, sustainability and aesthetics. We recognise the aspirations and the design drivers behind the masterplan and our proposal delivers and supports the high quality vision for the new Kai Tak area through the development of an architectural language and landscaped setting that adds to the overall greening of the area. The new Headquarters is a simple urban response to a complex brief. A play of composition and façade expression helps breaking down the mass while unifying various internal programmes. Its architectonic create various dialogues with the surrounding context, public realm and environmental responses. The new Kowloon East Regional Headquarters building takes off as an important part of the urban transformation of Kowloon East and as the gateway of the new Kai Tak city – setting a precedent and visionary picture of a new urban skyline.
