Knitting into the bustling streets of Hong Kong’s Causeway Bay district, Lee Garden Eight comprises three office towers and provides vibrant green public spaces, which are lacking in this part of the city. The towers integrate seamlessly with verdant ground plane, providing retail and community amenities at their base. Workspace design inside the towers enhance wellbeing with highly responsive facades, natural ventilation, and direct connections to nature on every level.
The towers are set back to overlook an 80-year-old banyan tree that marks the entrance to the development. On every typical floor of towers one and two, green balconies connect directly with generous lobbies, providing immediate access to outdoor space. A series of rooftop gardens offer spectacular views of the city, extending the green spine from the ground plane through the full height of the towers. The multi-tenant offices contain highly flexible workspaces, characterised by their large span, column-free floorplates that offer a range of layout options, maximise visibility, and promote collaborative work.
Responding to the humid subtropical climate, the building envelope is designed to optimise occupant comfort, with shading on the west and south façades that reduces solar gain. Each façade module also features a clerestory window that naturally ventilates the workspaces during the milder autumn and winter months.
Community amenities at the base of the towers include a day centre for the elderly, a district health centre, a childcare centre, and an arts, culture, and performance centre run by the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts EXCEL. The arts centre hosts a series of community events all year round, bringing people together and enhancing the scheme’s collective ethos.
