The ADDI+ION

HABITAT HONG KONG

Set in a neighbourhood of one of the oldest residential settlement on the Kowloon Peninsula and a historical gathering ground for the vanished Tanka fishermen before its reclamation, this modern 27-storey apartment tower outfitted with retail and clubhouse facilities at podium levels attempts to re-invent its disappearing urban context, which dated back for centuries. As a metaphor, the building resembles a collage of a densely-populated boxed-in dwelling flats randomly staggering on each other to harbor the birth of a new cityscape.
