A Lookout Point at Wanchai Gap Park

Wanchai Gap Park is a good lookout point to view the South District of Hong Kong Island and linkage with country park. The current site has a playground, a snack shop and one pavilion. However, the design is bit old fashion. The park also don’t have any pavilion when the people buy the food and drinks, so it is not convenience during hot and humid weather condition since it is too shine during the afternoon period.

 

To resolve the problem, it can use the open area to build a pavilion with a lookout point. The concept of the pavilion is connect with nature. Since it is located near to the country park, so it is suitable to use wood, steel, and concrete as the materials. These materials can represent a stylish and comfortable feeling to the park users, especially for the timber, it provides a warm feeling. Meanwhile, the colour of the wood is matched with the trees. Besides, Water is the important elements in nature. So the pavilion also provides a small fountain. So the sound of the water can allow the people to have a comfortable and relaxation of mind and body.

Shadow can give a strong power to give form to architecture. So the design also widely to have some space allow the sunlight to come inside the pavilion, so it can create impression space for the park users.
