Magnet Place
Kowloon, Hong Kong | 2019
Magnet Place is a commercial project which involves the revitalization of the 2 existing industrial buildings with a combined GFA of 33,400m2 into commercial and office space under the Wholesale Conversion of Industrial Buildings Scheme.
The existing buildings are two industrial towers with podium. The design revitalizes the buildings with a new modern and exciting podium facade to reflect the new commercial space within. The new podium stands out from the other buildings in the site and draws the attentions of the shoppers. The elegant design of the podium gentrifies the urban fabric and inserts more energy into the site.
Green areas are inserting into both the podium space and other tower open spaces to improve the user experience of the building. The greenery are also visible on street level which also enhances the surrounding environment.
