No. 4 Kennedy Road is a residential development prominently sited facing two major parks in Hong Kong. The largest side of the site faces a public park that opens up to the ascending Garden road, enabling the residential units an open expansive view to the Botanical Gardens and beyond via large bay windows and balconies.
The neo-classical motif of the podium fa?ade pays homage to the pre-existing context of the heritage-rich built fabric of Kennedy Terrace using cornice, mouldings, columns, pilasters and stone-cladded rustification on the base. Atop the monumental neoclassical expression, the elements translate into a modern, lighter language of glass boxes, curtain walling, vertical fins, and a protruding swimming pool. The roof feature marks the duplex's edge pool, emphatically identifying itself within Mid-Levels' ridgeline and ascertaining a strong presence in a very strategic and once heritage rich context.

This 25 storey industrial building with a total GFA of 20,000m2 has 2 faces. The one facing the heavy traffic Castle Peak Road, Kwai Chung Section has a stern and bold appearance that can be easily read along the open road. The other looking over a sloping site onto the dense and multifarious city of Kwai Chung will favor a more developed and composed treatment highlighted by the combination of a varied fenestration design, forms and materials. The building on this side, the towering height of which rises from the ground uninterrupted confidently expressed by well-defined vertical elements such as the corner elevator core dressed in full-height metal panels; the staircase accentuated in deep tone and a series of vertical fins masking the parking floors. However, the other side is simply conveyed by horizontal lines emphasizing the stretch of the building along the road in uniformity and solidity.

The plan forms a quadrangle with the existing building across Wai Chi Street while the classroom blocks is set back to giving way to a landscaped garden facing south. The open corridors face the open central court with view and ample light.
Sculptural treatment integral to the form gives the school a chance to establish a contemporary identity and a much needed neighbourhood landmark.

This school consists of two distinct blocks, one new for the Secondary and the other is the old existing Primary School kept totally intact as living memory of the past. Between the two is the existing open ball court and a series of landscaped terraces as retaining structures leading to the old block sitting on the slope. Surrounding slopes make the site very tight for expansion and consequently the new building has to go higher than the usual standard schools, to accommodate all the required uses. This produces, inadvertently the chance to establish the front, facing the major road, a strong, formal and identifiable presence in the area.
However, the back is conceived as a series of soft gestures designed to kindly connecting to and embracing the humble existing building. Besides pockets of landscaped open spaces and the large ball court in the middle as transition, there are also terraces and skygardens at various levels introduced at strategic locations of the new building to soften the edges and to establish a relax, flowing and penetrative ambience for the students. This idea is further complimented and echoed by curvilinear forms wrapping the open corridors.
This Office and Hotel Development stand out as an icon. The Building Blocks are strategically composed and oriented to maximize the view towards the south. A curved fa?ade and stepping configuration of blocks is adopted to create gradation of hierarchy and to allow the prime spaces of the building to enjoy the panoramic and undisrupted view.
