Lime Habitat
38, Ming Yuen Western Street, Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong
The project takes on a detour concept to re-examine the prototypical urban
residential development in Hong Kong. It strives to challenge the
perception of urban living in small to medium residential units situated in a
densely built up area. The ultimatum is to redefine metropolis
residential living through new space concept and architectural design.
The disposition of the building responds to the need of accommodating the
myriad combination of unit sizes – whilst on one hand fulfilling all technical
regulatory requirements, and yet more far reaching, is to sensitively respond
to the beautiful natural landscape and panoramic view which the site offers.
With a total number of 168 units and 7 units per floor plan, the intention is
for each and every of the individual units has its own characteristic layout
with commanding distinctive views from the unit interiors - Bremar Hill
greenery to the south and Victoria harbour to the north.
The architectural plan is opened up and units and thus spread out form the
core like flower pastels, creating outlier footprints to capitalize the light
and views for the units. Major numbers of small units did encourage a new logic
for the spatial organization of the building. The placement of resident’s
club facilities at various levels - ground floor, podium and the roof top,
contributed to making it an ideal building for studio apartments, bringing a
sense of communal living to the residents and a change of habitat style in the
private residential property market.
The architectural identity of the building the exterior followed the
concept for a novel and unusual building to stand apart from other more
conventional blocks in the area and was developed around the “pastel” plan
footprint, perceived as a sculptural art piece with muted colour tiles and
curtain walls with variations in different facades. Rounded architectural
motifs created by patterned glass, metal panels and light features, take the
form of water bubbles float up from the ground level through to the podium
which catches upward through a fritted lime pattern on the glass balustrades of
the balconies until it reaches the rooftop. Lime colour was depicted as a
thematic element hoping to breathe a fresh lease of life signifying a strong
statement in resonance to urban redevelopment.
