London studio Weston Williamson has unveiled a trio of Hong Kong skyscrapers that "kiss" one another, designed to sit atop of a new high-speed railway line. Proposed for Victoria Harbour, the high-rise complex is envisioned as a cluster of towers with heights of up to 440 meters, all arranged around a landscaped plaza.
The three towers are to feature tapered profiles, which will allow them to touch at the 21st and 25th floors. "The towers momentarily kiss, creating the main public spaces within the building," explained the architecture firm, whose previous designs include a shape-shifting stadium. "Beyond this point, each tower recedes to leave three iconic diminishing towers sitting harmoniously in the Hong Kong skyline."
The project is named Arcology Skyscraper – using a term that cleverly combines the words architecture and ecology. It is one of a series of designs by the firm intended to emphasize the importance of transport-focused architecture. The site will be conveniently located directly above the new Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link – a new 88-mile-long rail link connecting Hong Kong to mainland China.
Encompassing housing, offices, and retail, the positions of the towers will help to divide the complex into these three zones, creating a total floor space of 250,000 square meters. Commercial areas will occupy the lower stories, while residential areas will be housed on the upper levels.
"At ground level, the three towers form a large central square orientated to Victoria Harbour, and an extensive park enhances the wider urban realm, creating much needed green space along the central waterfront. As the building rises, each floor plate expands incrementally to provide deeper space allowing for greater flexibility in use." |
