Situated near Chegongmiao Station, this project is nestled against a mountainous backdrop with a beautiful natural environment. The building spans four floors and houses a main venue, fitness room, dance studio, children’s playroom, and multipurpose room.
The sports hall’s design unfolds in layers, integrating mountain elements into various spaces and honoring the villagers’ tradition of worshipping Feng Shui Mountain. This project aims not only to offer sports facilities but also to serve as a public leisure destination. The museum’s facilities are closely linked with outdoor public spaces, allowing visitors to wander through and engage with the natural landscape, effectively turning the site into a neighborhood park and a relaxing retreat for the local community.
The design promotes interaction with nature, breaking away from the typical enclosed layouts of Hong Kong’s sports venues. A corridor connects the various functional areas, seamlessly introducing natural landscapes. Visitors move through the building and greenery as they access different facilities, ultimately reaching Feng Shui Hill.
Visitors ascend stairs and ramps linking the front garden to various gardens and platforms. This garden pathway connects the facility’s different areas and encourages social interaction among users. At the heart of the building, a central glass garden serves as a focal point, bringing the community together and providing a welcoming oasis for visitors.
The design features an open channel system, eliminating the need for air conditioning in public corridors. Gardens, platform terraces, and ramps enhance natural ventilation and daylight throughout the space, fostering a more natural environment. Positioned above the atrium, the glass garden allows ample natural light to illuminate the interior.
Large daylighting surfaces capture sunlight from various angles and frame views of the surrounding garden greenery. Strategically placed gardens offer natural landscapes adjacent to different facilities. The exterior walls feature minimal decorative elements, focusing on raw concrete to emphasize simplicity. The project also incorporates photovoltaic and solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and water- and energy-saving systems.
