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.

Famous quotes containing the words commercial and/or complex:
“If men could menstruate ... clearly, menstruation would become an enviable, boast-worthy, masculine event: Men would brag about how long and how much.... Sanitary supplies would be federally funded and free. Of course, some men would still pay for the prestige of such commercial brands as Paul Newman Tampons, Muhammed Ali’s Rope-a-Dope Pads, John Wayne Maxi Pads, and Joe Namath Jock Shields—”For Those Light Bachelor Days.””
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
“Young children constantly invent new explanations to account for complex processes. And since their inventions change from week to week, furnishing the “correct” explanation is not quite so important as conveying a willingness to discuss the subject. Become an “askable parent.””
—Ruth Formanek (20th century)
