The Hong Kong Housing Society (HKHS) has recently been crowned multiple awards at the “Quality Property and Facility Management Award 2024” for its outstanding performance in property and facility management. Cho Yiu Chuen, a rental estate, and The Tanner Hill, a non-subsidised quality elderly housing project, received the Grand Award in the categories of “Public Rental Housing” and “Community Housing” respectively. The Tanner Hill also won the inaugural “Theme Award” by achieving the highest score in “Establishing a Wellness Harmony Community”.
The Tanner Hill, winning project of the “Theme Award”, was completed in 2015. It is Hong Kong’s first non-subsidised quality housing project for senior citizens of better affordability. The project provides age-friendly residential units, and also services and facilities to take care of the residents’ physical and mental health, including advanced home care support systems for safety and health monitoring, housekeeping and handyman services, an indoor heated swimming pool, social worker support, as well as healthcare and skilled care services. HKHS also collaborates with different organisations to provide an array of engaging activities for The Tanner Hill’s residents to enjoy active ageing.
Completed in the 1970s, Cho Yiu Chuen is Hong Kong’s first public housing estate built with a swimming pool and comprises an independent living housing block, “Chung Ning Sheh”, designed for the older persons. Cho Yiu Chuen stunned the industry in the early years by winning an architecture award for its aesthetically-pleasing environmental design. In 2022, HKHS piloted a two-year programme “Mind-friendly Estate Model at Cho Yiu Chuen”. By orchestrating diverse community resources, the project helps the residents to reduce stress and enhance their well-being through art. In addition, HKHS’s multi-disciplinary CES (Caring, Engaging and Smart) Team offers support to needy residents, engaging them in estate-based group activities and strengthening the neighbourhood bonding.
The Hong Kong Housing Society (HKHS) has recently been honoured with three local and international awards in project planning and construction, in recognition of its outstanding performance in providing quality and innovative housing, as well as its achievements in promoting green buildings and sustainable development. Among them, Blissful Place of the “Senior Citizen Residences Scheme” won the Grand Award in the Hong Kong Residential (Single Building) category at the Quality Building Award 2024.
The goal of achieving “ageing in place” has been exemplified in Blissful Place from its planning, design, construction through to resident services. The adoption of gerontechnology, the elderly-friendly flats, residential care home for the elderly, medical care services, and recreational facilities at the project all reflect HKHS’s people-oriented core values.
Jointly organised by nine leading local professional organisations, the Quality Building Award is a biennial major industry event that recognises project teams with outstanding teamwork in the design and construction of quality buildings. The theme of the award this year is “Empowering Innovation | Sustaining Green | Generating Wellness”, which recognises projects that demonstrate innovative and eco-friendly solutions for the benefit of society while committing to work holistically to serve every community to the best of its ability.
HKHS has also recently been honoured with the Merit Award in the “Planning” category at the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors Awards 2024 for Ming Wah Dai Ha (MWDH) Redevelopment project. The project is carried out in three phases by adopting the “single site, multiple uses” and “mixed development model” approaches. There is in-situ preservation of existing building elements in the course of redevelopment to enhance the residents’ sense of belonging. The project is also complemented by comprehensive living facilities suitable for people of all ages to foster an inclusive and harmonious community.
Completed in 2021, Phase I of the MWDH Redevelopment project provides 966 rental units, with one-third featuring adaptable designs. Natural lighting, ventilation, aesthetics and multiple factors were taken into full account during the design process of the two blocks. The purple and yellow palettes of the buildings create a unique “garden” community, which also assist senior residents in wayfinding.
