Advance Promenade near Wan Chai Ferry Pier at Pierside Precinct

Description

The site, situated in the last piece of reclaimed land by Victoria Harbour, is an invaluable open space for all walks of life. The project plays a critical role to connect the segregated harbourside spaces and to enhance continuity of the waterfront, while providing quality open space for public enjoyment.  The promenade fuses with other once-segregated promenades and forms the longest accessible waterfront along Victoria Harbour.  The pet garden and pet-friendly promenade encourages pet lovers to bring their pets to appreciate this inclusive space.  The promenade aims at generating social cohesion with the pavilions, coastline evolution exhibits, neon light sittable installations and vintage mailboxes.  It provides an accessible and enjoyable recreational space for leisure and diverse activities. 

With an aim of mediating the dense urban fabric and Victoria Harbour, the promenade infuses nature in between.  A series of portals and pavilions are set in the landscape intervened with meandering path, bringing the public from the dense inner city to the waterfront.  Sight lines are carefully designed by setting a series of framed views towards Victoria Harbour round the clock, offering alternative perspectives.  Visual permeability by means of transparent barriers and shelter by the sea bring the public closer to the sea and the Kowloon cityscape beyond.  Coastline evolution exhibit is introduced for showcasing the changes of coastline over the decades and educating the young generation.
