GREEN@WONG TAI SIN (known as Wong Tai Sin Recycling Station) is a district hub for environmental education and recycling support with strong ties to the surrounding community. It is part of the GREEN@COMMUNITY, a recycling network serving the entire Hong Kong, which comprises of Recycling Stations, Recycling Stores and Recycling Spots.
The project includes a collection and sorting facility for recyclables, an activity space and offices. Located in a residential and school community, both residents and students can come to sort, recycle, and participate in educational activities.
As a communal facility designed to encourage public participation, the site boundary abutting pedestrian path along Po Kong Village Road is opened up to invite public’s exploration. Taking the opportunity of the existing site topography, various built elements are strategically placed on the terrain to embody outdoor spaces, while fostering a natural environment through the use of an organic landscape design.
