“17777” / 香港公共屋邨建築之形 Hong Kong Public Housing Architecture Forms / SML.20130226.7D.24728.P1.L1

Kam Tai Court (錦泰苑) is a HOS court in Ma On Shan, built on the reclaimed land along Tide Cove shoreline, near MTR Tai Shui Hang Station. It has totally 12 blocks completed in 2000.

 

Sometimes in rendering photographs like these I am a bit undecided if I should push their contrasts and vibrance. The photograph was taken on a cloudy day, so it lacks color details. I also never really liked this shade of teal/green. They “feel” like public toilets to me. I can’t quite explain why.

 

From afar it would seem that the dark green was painted to echo with the greens of the mountain next to it (馬鞍山 Ma On Shan) but as Heidi Klum likes to say in Project Runway, matchie-matchie is no style at all. I tend to agree with that philosophy.
