Fanling North New Development Area Residence Emphasizes a Harmonious Relationship with Nature

Fanling North New Development Area Residence Phase 1 is the first residential development in Hong Kong to have achieved the latest WELL v2 healthy building international recognition with the highest ‘Platinum precertification’, promoting ‘healthy living’ through a series of holistic considerations in its design and operations. In addition to the sustainability, health and wellbeing elements, a range of innovative designs including two patented features namely ‘Lift Sterilisation Pod’ and ‘Depuration Porch’ are provided to enhance air quality in elevator cars as well as residential units to safeguard against airborne pathogens to uphold the healthy living initiatives.

The project emphasizes a harmonious relationship with nature. A butterfly garden and a firefly habitat in collaboration with ecologists are introduced to nurture biodiversity. With biophilic building form blending into the expansive, park-like central garden and the roof top swimming pool, the standalone clubhouse optimises views from garden-facing residential units, whilst boosting enjoyment for all residents. 

To achieve carbon neutrality, 3 Mei Sun Lane takes into account the impact of the building and its amenities for a sustainable design, drawing inspiration from tree houses and buildings with the likes of Bosco Verticale in Italy, the Tower of Cedar in Switzerland and Fubon Sky Tree in Taiwan. 

3 Mei Sun Lane is located in Tai Po District, surrounded by parks, gardens, the Lam Tsuen River and the Tai Po Waterfront Park. It aims to be the first tree tower building in Hong Kong by planting 190 trees all over the building, thus resulting in more than 20% of the site area being covered by them. At the top of the building you will find the zero-carbon clubhouse. It includes special outdoor amenities, whilst effectively screening off outside views and minimising cross-viewing with adjacent buildings. 

Located in the heart of Shek Kip Mei, 458 Sai Yeung Choi Street North is a new residential development that takes inspiration from and honours its natural surroundings to create a holistic living environment for Hong Kong’s young, vibrant and sophisticated generation. The goal of the project is to foster a connection between the tenants and nature, through modern designs which are inspired by people’s attraction to the natural environment. 

There are two residential towers, Block A covers a gross floor area of approximately 362m² featuring 12 units per floor across 21-storeys. Block B covers a gross floor area of approximately 418m² featuring five penthouse units with private rooftops sitting on top of 20 storeys with 15 units per floor. The façade design is inspired by genius loci, with the concept taking inspiration from the development’s unique location and natural hill slope. 

4-24 Nam Kok Road is in an area of Kowloon City that used to have ageing buildings, yet is now among Hong Kong’s hippest districts. The redevelopment project of No. 4-24 Nam Kok Road comprises a 22-storey residential tower above a two-storey podium, which will host shops and restaurants plus an expansive terrace garden. From higher floors, the residential tower will afford impressive views north towards Kowloon Hills including Lion Rock, and southeast to Kai Tak and southeastern Victoria Harbour.
