Here at Salisbury Garden Phase II, innovation meets tranquility. This revitalized space embraces simplicity, sustainability, and a human-centric design.
Salisbury Garden Phase II stands in a prime art and culture district. It is close to the Hong Kong Museum of Art and the Avenue of Stars. New York High Line designer James Corner transformed this once-enclosed garden. His aim was to open the garden to the Tsim Sha Tsui harbourfront.
Careful landscaping defines Salisbury Garden Phase II. A mini-amphitheatre and oval lawn create space for events and arts. The garden is a place for social interaction and cultural exchange.
The revamp of Salisbury Garden Phase II employed sustainable design. SITES, a system for sustainable open spaces, was adopted. It emphasizes low-impact design and pedestrian orientation. Connectivity improved in this high-traffic tourist area.
Even utilitarian infrastructure has aesthetic joy at Salisbury Garden Phase II. Ventilation exhausts and emergency exits are disguised as green walls. They visually unify the garden’s overall design. Public lavatories resemble a lantern glowing in the dark.
The glass pavilion and oval lawn offer space for exhibitions. Markets, fairs, mini-concerts, and performances happen here. This multi-use destination lets the public relax and enjoy harbour views.
Extensive greenery mitigates the urban heat island effect. Green walls camouflage equipment and streamline the layout. Better pedestrian circulation results from this. Local biodiversity thrives with plants selected for Hong Kong’s climate.
Along the Avenue of Stars, mobile carts use solar panels for lighting. Custom seating and balustrades are built from bio-wood. This material comes from old rice husks. Other sustainable elements include conserving built surfaces and reusing site materials. New building materials contain recycled content. Locally trimmed biomass is also recycled.
Salisbury Garden Phase II together with the Avenue of Stars provides a unique waterfront experience. It welcomes locals and tourists alike.
