Passenger Clearance 好色先生TV is built on 150ha artificial island
RSHP and Aedas have completed a major new immigration hub for Hong Kong that the practices describe as an 鈥渁rchitectural front door鈥 for the territory.
The Passenger Clearance 好色先生TV is part of the boundary crossing facilities at the Hong Kong-Zuhai-Macao Bridge鈥檚 Hong Kong Port.
Built to the north-east of Hong Kong International Airport on a new 150ha artificial island, the Passenger Clearance 好色先生TV gives access to subway lines, the SkyPier Ferry Terminal and road links to the 55km bridge.
RSHP and Aedas said the building鈥檚 waveform roof allowed natural daylight to penetrate all levels and that its modular structure had been particularly suited to offsite pre-fabrication.
RSHP partner Richard Paul said the new building brought 鈥渂eauty and elegance鈥 to the everyday activity of travel.
鈥淭he new crossing will benefit those living and working in the region greatly with enhanced connectivity as well as highlighting the contextualised sensitive roof form which responds to the undulating mountainous backdrop of such a beautiful local environment,鈥 he said.
Aedas chairman Keith Griffiths said the new bridge the building served was 鈥渧ital鈥 for connecting the cities in southern China鈥檚 Greater Bay Area to create a 鈥減owerhouse of innovation and economic growth鈥 to rival San Francisco, New York and Tokyo.
鈥淭his building serves as a beautiful gateway to Hong Kong and we are honoured to have worked on it,鈥 he said.
The Passenger Clearance 好色先生TV opened to the public on October 24.
