Developed by Sun Hung Kai Properties, the 1.3-million-square-foot project serves as a community anchor, bringing a network of indoor and outdoor recreation spaces integrated with restaurants, retail, and cultural amenities.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The design is shaped by its steep natural surroundings and the vernacular architecture of Hong Kong\u2019s historic mountain villages. Rather than a single monolithic structure, the building forms a sequence of interconnected volumes and terraces, each responding to the contours of the site. These volumes converge at the central public piazza \u2014 an open-air gathering space surrounded by shops and caf\u00e9s that has become the social heart of the development.<\/p>\n<p>images \u00a9 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.virgilebertrand.com\/\">Virgile Simon Bertrand<\/a>\u00a0(unless otherwise stated)<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">zaha hadid architects\u2019 \u2018fabric landscape\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With the design of its GO PARK Sai Sha, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaha-hadid.com\/\"><strong>team<\/strong><\/a> at Zaha Hadid Architects employs two interrelated concepts. The use of a \u2018fabric landscape\u2019 pulls the adjacent terrain through and around the built form, while a gradual circulation ramp winds through the project. This ramp unifies the commercial, recreational, and cultural programming across multiple levels, culminating in a continuous rooftop garden that gazes outward over the sports park and the cove beyond.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This vertical circulation system allows for full accessibility while maintaining a sense of spatial continuity across the complex. Ramps, pathways, and bridges create an experience of gentle movement, connecting different areas of the site and offering elevated perspectives of both the architecture and the landscape.<\/p>\n<p>ZHA designs a 1.3 million square foot sports and commercial complex<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">go park sai sha: Architecture for the Community<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Zaha Hadid Architects approaches its GO PARK Sai Sha with a focus on permeability and openness. Indoor and outdoor zones are intentionally blurred, giving the complex a porous quality. The piazza, sports courts, and gardens are supported by shaded walkways and public terraces that remain active throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Simon Yu, the firm\u2019s Director in Hong Kong, describes GO PARK Sai Sha as an \u2018immersive public space\u2019 and a demonstration of how architecture can enhance urban life without overwhelming the natural character of its setting. His team worked closely with SHKP to ensure that amenities would align with residents\u2019 daily needs while also serving as a draw for regional visitors.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The complex houses both high-performance and recreational facilities, including an indoor stadium for 1,500 spectators, a fencing hall, and a swimming academy. These are complemented by extensive outdoor offerings from football and lacrosse pitches to climbing walls and nature excursions. The entire GO PARK Sports zone is organized to provide sightlines, flow, and ease of access, ensuring that even large-scale events are accessible to the community.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>its clustered design is inspired by traditional mountain villages of Hong Kong<\/p>\n<p>the architecture forms a series of interconnected terraces linked by ramps and bridges<\/p>\n<p>a central public piazza surrounded by shops and caf\u00e9s anchors the site<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>a continuous ramp connects multiple levels and leads to rooftop gardens<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>programming includes a stadium for 1,500 spectators, a fencing hall, and a swimming academy<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the design promotes community life with open circulation and immersive public spaces<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:\u00a0<\/strong>GO PARK Sai Sha<\/p>\n<p><strong>architect:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaha-hadid.com\/\">Zaha Hadid Architects<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/zahahadidarchitects\/?hl=en\">@zahahadidarchitects<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>location:\u00a0<\/strong>Hong Kong<\/p>\n<p><strong>client:<\/strong> Sun Hung Kai Properties<\/p>\n<p><strong>executive architect:<\/strong> LWK + Partners (HK) Ltd.<\/p>\n<p><strong>photography:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a9 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.virgilebertrand.com\/\">Virgile Simon Bertrand<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/virgilebertrand_hk_photo\/\">@virgilebertrand_hk_photo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>ZHA project team:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>ZHA principal:<\/strong> Patrik Schumacher<br \/>\n<strong>ZHA project directors:<\/strong> Simon Yu, Paulo Flores, Mouzhan Majidi<br \/>\n<strong>ZHA commercial director:<\/strong> Jim Heverin, Sara Klomps<br \/>\n<strong>ZHA project associate:<\/strong> Eva Tidemann, Lydia Kim<br \/>\n<strong>ZHA project architects:<\/strong> Kylie Chan, Eduardo Camarena<br \/>\n<strong>ZHA project team:<\/strong> Karthikeyan Arunachalam, Thomas Bagnoli, Brandon Gehrke, Cheryl Lim, Christos Koukis, Kelvin Ma, Prayrika Mathur, Viola Poon, Nastasja Mitrovic, Sven Torres, Theodor Wender, Bogdan Zaha, Haejin Lee, Steven Chung, Ian Lai<\/p>\n<p><strong>ZHA site team:<\/strong> Kylie Chan, Kelvin Ma, Viola Poon<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>specialist consultants:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>executive architect:<\/strong> LWK + Partners (HK) Ltd.<br \/>\n<strong>structural engineers:<\/strong> Sun Hung Kai Architects and Engineers Ltd.<br \/>\n<strong>general contractor:<\/strong> Chun Fai Construction Company Limited<br \/>\n<strong>environmental consultant:<\/strong> Ramboll (Hong Kong) Ltd.<br \/>\n<strong>facade engineering:<\/strong> Alpha Consulting<br \/>\n<strong>M&amp;E engineering:<\/strong> Aecom<br \/>\n<strong>transport consultant:<\/strong> Aecom<br \/>\n<strong>landscape consultant:<\/strong> Axxa Group<br \/>\n<strong>lighting design:<\/strong> Tino Kwan Lighting Consultants Ltd.<br \/>\n<strong>geotechnical, ecological engineering:<\/strong> Arup (Hong Kong) Ltd.<br \/>\n<strong>BIM management (Architectural):<\/strong> isBIM Limited<br \/>\n<strong>civil engineering Consultant:<\/strong> Aecom<br \/>\n<strong>landscape design:<\/strong> TROP, and Sun Hung Kai Landscape<br \/>\n<strong>planning consultant:<\/strong> Liewelyn-Davies Hong Kong Ltd.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/topography-woven-terraces-zaha-hadid-architects-go-park-sai-sha-hong-kong-07-28-2025\/\">topography of woven terraces defines zaha hadid architects\u2019 GO PARK sai sha in hong kong<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>a sprawling sports complex arrives in hong kong \u00a0 Zaha Hadid Architects completes GO PARK Sai Sha, a major sports complex located between Ma On Shan Country Park and Three Fathoms Cove in Hong Kong. &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[142],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.7 -
