香港山顶广场，属于市民的东方之珠

历经近30年的时代变迁，始建于1992年的山顶广场，在风雨磨砺中渐渐褪去繁华：被遮挡的入口、老旧的装潢、狭小的中庭、体验极差的动线……一场翻修亟待展开。

Aedas受业主委托，对山顶广场展开了为期两年半的翻新修缮。设计从概念、空间、布局三方面着手，让山顶广场一改旧貌，迸发出新的生命力：

1、将“山顶宝石”概念融入设计，形成蕴含香港精神的地标性入口，以寓意“东方之珠”的造型汇聚城市目光。

2、打破动线布局，重构中庭空间，以焕然一新的格局提升游览体验。

3、模糊室内外界限，通过轻盈现代的景观露台，提供人与环境的自然互动。

设计从“宝石切割”中汲取灵感，将原有的两个小入口合二为一，打造了如同宝石形状的三维幕墙，透明的玻璃在阳光下明亮夺目，形成极具标志性与层次感的建筑造型，呼应着山下“东方明珠”的繁华景象。三角形玻璃拼接出的球形幕墙如同一个山顶之眼，通过多角度在玻璃上映照出周遭自然风景与天色变化，让访客漫步间尽享欣赏四时美景，形成建筑与环境、与人之间的自然互动。当夜晚来临，幕墙上的LED灯光亮起，搭配网格结构的闪烁，犹如一颗颗流星，照亮山顶。

为完美实现3D结构，设计师一改传统焊接方法，以数控机床加工星型接头，通过工厂预制，确保建成效果的同时，也降低了运输成本，缩短了建造时间。

为了将空间还给城市，给不同人群营造了各类共享空间，让互动在此发生。开阔的台阶成为游客来往的中转场所，三三两两在长椅上小憩。曾经的喷泉景观改为了互动更强的草坪，小朋友可以在此席地而坐，嬉戏追逐。

重构中庭动线，提升室内体验

走进大堂，通高开放的前庭，空间通透，透明的三维幕墙，将阳光带入室内，为游客带来舒适的到达感。设计最大限度模糊室内外界限，将外墙及广场地面的石材花纹和材料延伸至室内。

为改变过去室内昏暗、空间拥挤的状况，设计通过布局调整与色彩运用，改善了视觉的压迫感。通道旁的商铺全部后移，将中庭由过去的4米宽扩大至8米，环形动线形成的动态拱形游廊，方向更明确，回路更直接。宽敞圆匀的通道取代了狭小的尖角空间，舒适宜人，游览体验更佳。

设计保留了原有的天窗结构，在原玻璃基础上增加隔热膜，提升散热属性，防止阳光过于刺眼。极佳的照明采光，让人仿佛行走于阳光下一般，搭配浅色为主的室内设计，白色的回廊外轮廓与浅色地砖，共同营造出室内明亮现代的环境氛围。

顶层拱廊还设有装置艺术，形态不同的玻璃，按照颜色排序渐变，呼应光线的变化及其形成的阴影，色彩明亮富有律动，极大削弱了室内的封闭感。同时，为购物中心增添了独特的标志性景色，吸引游客拍照打卡。

另一方面，随着“放管服”改革深入推进，塑造一支具有丰富业务实践经验、切实了解师生需求、沟通能力良好的报销服务人才队伍。报销服务队伍应与师生医务员工联系密切，既需要树立服务理念，又需要在日常业务操作中提升技能；深入到各学院中去，了解广大师生财务需求，开展财务宣讲，沟通解决问题，有的放矢地开展服务。

模糊界限，观景中与环境自然互动

设计在每层都增加了便捷可达的露台空间，用透明的玻璃栏杆代替了过去的墙体，提升商业空间的景观价值，让访客在享受美食之余，一览山海美景。二层的户外平台改为儿童乐园，并与当地艺术家合作，打造富有文化内涵与艺术的环境，为家庭欢度周末提供新的选择。

漫步而上，来到顶部的观景台。由主入口的三维幕墙向上延伸形成的栏河，轻盈现代的玻璃材质代替了过去的石质栏杆，拉近了人与景色之间的距离。于百米高空，极目远眺，高楼林立展示着香港的现代繁荣；另一侧林间山海，诉说岁月百年沉浮。从三角形框架中定格的照片，如同一场人与自然、建筑与环境无声的对话。

“越来越多的市民把山顶广场作为周末家庭时光的选择，你可以看到孩子们在这里嬉戏；露台上三两好友聚会交谈；还有观景台上游客的赞叹。我想，这就是最好的翻修，让建筑融入生活，让空间回归城市，让人来人往谱写它新的生命。”

Peak Galleria, a dazzling Pearl of the Orient for all

Due to its long history, Peak Galleria had become obsolescent and worn out in the past decades and was in urgent need of a makeover.

Aedas was commissioned by the Client to renovated and modernize the property for more than 2.5 year redesign and construction. To achieve this goal, three key strategies have been applied for rejuvenation of the arcade:

1. To create a gem-like, eye-catching entrance that resonates the city’s lively spirit and symbolic image of “Pearl of the Orient”.

2. To improve circulatory and visual experience to interior space by re-organizing retail layout and circulation flow.

3. To promote interaction with nature and add commercial value to outdoor terraces by creating new alfresco dining area and improve design and accessibility to viewing platforms.

The journey begins as one arrive at the century-old Peak Tram Station. Removing obstructive built works on the plaza, a dazzling gemstone immediately draws attention from visitors while the two wings extends to form a welcoming hug around the plaza. Sharp angles of the thick red granite were replaced by tender curves of the glass and steel structure, reflecting a lighter and younger image of the shopping arcade with a style.

The design draws inspiration from the "glowing gem", combining two inconspicuous entrances into one grand iconic entrance. Triangular glass panels are applied to realize the curtain wall’s diamond-cut pattern, sparkling to create an eye of the peak. Bright and glittering in the sun, it reflects the surrounding natural landscapes and changes of the sky from different angles, stimulating an intuitive interaction between architecture,nature and people passing by. As night falls, LED lights on the grid shell structure put on a light show like a meteor shower, brightening up the Peak to offer a different kind of fascination from daytime.

To realize the 3D structure of the gemstone, a CNC machine method is adopted to produce the star-joints in accurate and extraordinary touch of finish. The components of the structure are prefabricated to ensure accuracy during composition, while reducing transportation cost and construction time.

To return space to the city, ample communal spaces are created for people to share and interact. The public plaza has always been a place for gathering and transit.Transforming an existing fountain into a lawn, it endows the plaza a broader view and an inviting vibe.

lmprove Atrium and Spatial Quality

Lights penetrating through the curtain wall, the open and permeable entrance introduces a pleasant sense of arrival as visitors step in. It blurs the boundary of indoors and outdoors by inviting natural lights and extending stone patterns and materials of the exterior wall and plaza into the interior space.

With optimized layout and rich colours applied, the design changes the dim and cramped visual impression of the arcade. The main atrium is strategically widened from 4 m to 8 m in a comfort and proper proportion to enhance spatial quality and allow events and gathering. The arcade is re-arranged into a singular loop to improve wayfinding for visitors and commercial value for retail shops. Coherent with changes on the building facade, the sharp corners and straight angles in the interior space are also modified into curvy round aisles to generate a softened affinity to visitors.

Existing skylight structure is retained and upgraded by adding a thermal insulation film to filter out heat and sun glare. With sunlight shedding in, the new lighting system and the overall light tone of the arcade creates a bright and amicable atmosphere that people almost feel that they are walking in the sun.

An installation art of glass panels is set on top floor along the passageway. The“Rainbow Corridor” features glasses in different forms and colors - creating gradients of the color spectrum - and reflect the changing sunlight into playful shadows within the atrium. The rhythmic light and colors eliminating the sense of confinement in an enclosed space and creates a special “check-in” place for the mall.

Human-nature interaction with blurred boundaries

Accessible terraces are set on each floor to maximize view for visitors and generate additional value for the commercial space. Existing solid parapet walls are demolished and replaced by clear glass balustrade. All restaurants in the development are placed with alfresco dining area enjoying different angles of the view. Collaborated with local artists on design of the children playground on 2/F terrace, an inspiring culture and art space is created to enhance engagement and liveliness to the arcade.

Strolling up to the observation deck on top, the gem-like curtain wall of the main entrance extends upwards to as railings. The glazed panels are visually lighter and physically thinner, reducing distance to the natural scenery. Viewing the cityscape afar, high-rise buildings blocks below showcase prosperity of a bustling Hong Kong; while natural forests and ocean on the other side speaks for an everlasting tranquility of the land. Taking photo from any of the triangular frame is like a silent dialogue between man and nature,architecture and the environment.

The designer’s effort is well paid off: "More and more citizens are choosing Peak Galleria as their weekend destination for family gathering. You can see children playing, friends hanging out on the terrace and tourists acclaiming for the views on the observation deck. The best refurbishment is to bring the building into life,returning space to the city, and inviting people to visit and celebrates its new life."
