The Commercial Complex
The design of the commercial complex of the public housing estate was designed to merge into the village environment in the vicinity. Unlike the commercial centers of other public housing estates, the complex consists of five two-level blocks which are standing on two platforms. The complex slopes from the east to the west a difference of 15m. A 26m clock tower reinforces the image of the commercial complex. In 1992, the design of the commercial complex won a Certificate of Merit in the annual design competition which was organized by The Hong Kong Institute of Architects.
