This project located in the Tsimshatsui district of Hong Kong is a community based project aimed at creating easier accesses and pathways for the whole community especially the elderly and disabled. Obviously if you cant tell by the pictures the area that I am most interested in are the five unique lampposts. Three of the five are circular and are fixed around three trees that have been growing in the same spot for many decades. This is to represent the design teams focus on preserving the existing unique characteristics of the site and the community. The other two lampposts are opened armed embracing the trees representing the whole community.
I like the concept of the embracing lampposts but the actual design seems too constrict on the tree a little to much from a design point of view, and I feel the actual design would benefit if the circular lighting area was slightly larger. If the circular posts were also slightly higher and more subtle it would look almost as if the tree had a halo. During the darker hours I can imagine this design looking amazing.
