The West Kowloon Mediation Centre is located next to the Law Courts Building in Shum Shui Po, which offers an alternative means to resolve disputes for early settlement and provides public education at the community level. The composition of the architecture is unique and truly reflects the mediation procedure. The architect reinterprets the mediation space and brings the users closer to nature.
Courtyard spaces, greenery and natural lights are brought into the premises. They also act as separations between rooms and serve as a natural acoustic buffer. Natural breeze flows to indoor through large slide-folding doors. High window at break-out rooms brings in natural light while reduces heat gain in summer. The humanistic approach and harmony in materials result in tranquillity in space.
This one-storey building is constructed entirely with steel members and designed according to typical modules. Besides, the dry construction method also makes construction fast, easy, and economical, which contributes to a sustainable environment.
