DESIGN NAME: Cainaio Smart Gateway
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Logistics Centre
INSPIRATION: Due to the triangular shaped site and sloping height limit due to its proximity to the airport, the building form took shape to maximize the development potential and cater operational needs. Care has been taken to counter the traditional mindset of a warehouse as being boxy and enclosed through the use of curves, cladding and colour to soften its profile and break down its mass and to reinforce the client’s brand identify via its use of corporate colour.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: CaiNiao Smart Gateway is located near the Hong Kong International Airport and the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macau Bridge, and is part of the city’s mandated strategy to address the booming growth of e-commerce worldwide and demand for cross-border logistics and delivery services. The logistics centre provides abundant spaces with high headroom and tolerances for floor smoothness and flatness, in order to facilitate advanced automated logistics technologies to achieve high efficient throughput.

PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in November 2018 and was completed in September 2023 in Hong Kong.
