Designed by Foster + Partners, the extension to the Ocean Terminal in Harbor City, Hong Kong recently opened for the public, providing a new gateway for international cruise liner passengers. The extension offers a distinct waterfront experience with stunning outdoor leisure and dining spaces giving spectacular views of the harbor, noted ArchDaily. Located directly across Victoria Harbor, the terminal also frames splendid views of the city’s iconic skyline from the Kowloon Peninsula in the North East to Causeway Bay in the South East.Designed in the form of cascading terraces that look out towards the harbor, the plaza embraces Hong Kong’s alfresco dining culture, providing a new outdoor leisure and entertainment space for the people of Hong Kong and a vibrant gateway to the city for the visitors. Luke Fox, Head of Studio and Senior Executive Partner, said: “By introducing a new series of public spaces to the site, right down to the waterfront edge, we aim to create a ‘new living room’ for the people of Hong Kong and its visitors right in the heart of the city.”The building has been designed in response to its climatic context. The wide cantilevered terraces protect the lower levels from the harsh tropical sun. The terraces also become the setting for a stepped outdoor seating area to enjoy the panoramic views of the harbor and the city’s skyline. The roof level is seamlessly connected to the marine deck, physically as well as visually, through a series of escalators that cascade down through the public spaces.For more details, visit: https://www.fosterandpartners.com/ Read more
