  • the existing hall, cricket pitch and bowls green are to remain operation during the construction of the new Hub

Design Strategy:

  • Locate the Hub in the heart of the site enable one building to take up two pitches, acting as backdrops, spectating space and acoustic barrier
  • Children’s playground is given priority of being close to the Hub, and the teenagers playground is located next to the MUPG
  • New bowling green is right next its club room, where in other time could be used as snack bar or coffee lounge
  • Internal One-way road and perimeter parking (including 108 car parking and 3 coach parking /drop-off) catered for high-volume site access

  • Green roof not only increases the vegetation coverage on site but also improves the roof insulation and reduce the rain water runoff
  • Proposed fair-faced concrete soffit works as exposed thermal mass, in conjunction with night-time ventilation may achieve passive cooling. The opening above the stage may enhance the stack-effect ventilation,
  • Roof overhangs work as solar shading and veranda for spectating
  • Benefit from naturally lighting from the roof lights in the lobby etc
  • Underfloor service mains, including mechanical vent, underfloor heating and cable
