Silversands is a new low-density development of four nine-storey residential towers located in stunning Starfish Bay in Ma On Shan in the eastern New Territories. Embraced by trees, the site lies in close proximity to the area’s sandy beaches. Inspired by its unique setting, the architecture of Silversands blends seamlessly with nature, creating a tranquil hideaway for its residents. Its small site area of only 4,600 m2, coupled with building height restrictions made the site planning quite challenging.
Its 160 units range in size from one to four bedrooms, with all four-bedroom units having panoramic views of Starfish Bay. A two-storey clubhouse with a small gymnasium and a function room is located at one end of the site, while a ground-floor covered lounge acts as the entrance to the clubhouse. A landscaped strip along the southeast boundary forms a buffer between the development and the adjoining nature reserve.
