That's the proposed residential redevelopment of Sai Wan Terrace, do you want this to get built?

Depends on the location. Where is it anyway? Is this the one by Frank Gehry?

I approve of going for more "organic" forms, rather than the usual identa-kit residential blocks that have blighted Hong Kong over the last couple decades. The march of gentrification goes on none the less...

Old public housing estate:

So my question is, what green credentials does this redevelopment have?

No the frank gehry one is much shorter and I think there's a thread for it somewhere on here...

The site is located in Quarray Bay.

It looks more like a bastardised Seidler design.

I see. So it's on that hillside above Taikoo Shing. This is a pretty cool design, shame it's not on the waterfront or a more prominent position.

looks cool! very iconic. how tall it's gonna be?

Looks fine to me. Beats the standard pre assembled housing estates.

IMHO, I think it's a bit too much for the tranquil hillside, I prefer this being built on the waterfront of Wan Chai and CWB.

as far as I know, it should be 180+m.
