【灣仔環境資源中心中庭 Wan Chai Environmental Resource Centre Courtyard】
建於1913年的灣仔環境資源中心曾是舊灣仔郵政局，是香港現存最古老的郵政局建築，於1990年被列為法定古蹟。在這個項目中，我們重新設計建築外的中庭，令舊花園成為一個可供靈活使用的小型社區空間。我們以可持續為設計原則，整個中庭以回收樹木為主要材料。木台階、特色種植牆、樹脂木凳以及木地台，全是本地回收、本地處理以及製作。設計中使用的原木更展示了香港常見的樹種，包括台灣相思、木棉、朴樹、細葉榕、苦楝、銀合歡等。
Built in 1913, the building of Wan Chai Environmental Resource Centre served as the Wan Chai Post Office. It is the oldest surviving post office building in Hong Kong and was listed as a declared monument in 1990. In this project, we revamped the courtyard of the monument from an old garden to a small communal space for flexible uses. We took sustainability as a design principle; reclaimed wood from felled trees is the primary material for the entire courtyard. Most landscape features – the terrace, the planted feature wall, the resin benches, and the floor decking – are made with locally collected and processed wood and are all manufactured in Hong Kong. Wood used in this design also showcases common tree species found in Hong Kong, including Acacia confusa, Bombax ceiba, Celtis sinensis, Ficus Microcarpa, Melia azedarach, and Leucaena leucocephala.
