PROJECT BACKGROUND

Sham Shui Po is a haven of fabrics for local shoppers. However, the lack of well-planned storage and shared working space for the local communities as well as the over-crowded living space have been subjects of concern for people of Hong Kong. Seeing an inspiring public space as the soil for individual creativity and local cultural industries to thrive, the design aims to provide a comfortable and green space in Sham Shui Po. As a public library with beautiful landscape that features resources about textiles, the design allows a spacious venue for individuals to acquire new knowledge while growing together with the community.
