Salisbury Garden
Yau Tsim Mong
Standing in a prime art and culture district, close to the Hong Kong Museum of Art, Hong Kong Space Museum, K11 MUSEA and the Avenue of Stars, this previously enclosed garden has been transformed by New York High Line designer James Corner. His aim was to open the garden to the Tsim Sha Tsui harbourfront, using careful landscaping, a mini-amphitheatre and oval lawn to make it a place for events and arts. Even the utilitarian infrastructure and facilities are sources of aesthetic joy – ventilation exhausts and emergency exits are disguised as white, wavy green walls, while the public lavatories by LAAB Architects resemble a lantern glowing in the dark.
