Home > Winners > #107024




DESIGN DETAILS
DESIGN NAME:
Green Recovery Station

PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Refuse Collection Point

INSPIRATION:
Aligning with the planning vision of Hong Kong of becoming a carbon neutral city, this project aims to bring a fresh new image of refuse collection point to local community. The Community Refuse Collection Point contains extensive greenery to harmonize with the surroundings. The waste recovery operations are partly exhibited through glass facade along the pedestrian walkway. The welcoming and open design aims to engage the community and promote the concept of pleasurable sustainability to the public.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This project is a new refuse collection point located in the Kai Tak residential district. It is a facility that collects, sorts and recycles the wastes of city. The building consists of material recovery store, water scrubber room, recycling vehicle loading space, office and staff toilets. The building form is determined by the precise positioning and organization of the waste treatment machines in height order, creating an efficient, sloping rooftop fit for the operations of material recovery.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
The Community Refuse Collection Point consists of small building blocks integrated with greenery and outdoor courtyards. This facilitates natural ventilation and brings away any unpleasant scent effectively. The full height glass facade allows natural light to pour into the internal space and creates a pleasant working environment for the staff. The transparent outlook, the use of natural materials, the integration of greenery and courtyards breaks the traditional image of refuse collection point which is dark and unwelcoming. The cut-out aluminum fins embodied the award-winning graphics from the Kai Tak local creatives and represented as the iconic facade of the project.
