Station Square is located at the heart of Kai Tak. It acts as a connector to adjacent urban development and existing historical context. Being the biggest urban square in Hong Kong, the project is designed to provide a sequence of urban spaces that embody different public activities, such as festive events, children plays, lawn bowling, sports, etc, manifesting itself as “a place for people”.
Station Square also acts as a green breathing space in the vibrant neighbourhood. Through creating natural wind corridors in a low density area, it encourages flow of natural breezes across the square. In addition, the concept of “Canopy of Tree” of the project not only gives an identity to it, but also provides large natural shaded spaces for public to enjoy as well. This abundant landscaped area, including rain gardenand boawale planter, also allows better management of storm water. Furthermore, the extensive greenery coverage and large water bodies in Station Square also improve the mirco-climate by mitigating heat island effect at district level. As an urban oasis amidst the dense urban fabric, Station Square creates an unique habitat for various creatures.
