Hong Kong Boundary Crossing

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) is an unprecedented important strategic road corridor which links up three regions in the Pearl River Delta, China. In mid 2009, Highways Department initiated to organize an International Design Ideas Competition for its development.

Under the Same Roof – a project by Paul Mui Kui Chen, Benny Lee Chiu Ming and Agnes Hung Oi Kee –  received first prize in the competition.

Meanwhile natural ventilation is facilitated through the stack effect and operable panels to release air and exhaust.
