Two Taikoo Place Wins 2024 ULI Asia Pacific Award for Excellence
Two Taikoo Place Wins 2024 ULI Asia Pacific Award for Excellence: Recognising Sustainability and Innovative Water Features
We are proud to announce that Two Taikoo Place has been honoured with the 2024 ULI Asia Pacific Award for Excellence, a testament to its outstanding design and commitment to sustainability. This project, developed by Swire Properties, emphasises creating an inclusive and green urban space, with a focus on environmental responsibility, aiming for LEED Platinum certification.
As the water feature design consultant for Two Taikoo Place, Ocmis played a crucial role in bringing the project’s vision of blending nature with the urban environment to life. Our team designed and created detailed scale mock-ups of the water features to meticulously test and perfect their effects, ensuring they harmonise with the surrounding landscape and architecture. While a local contractor handled the installation, the concept and detailed design of these water features were the result of our team’s dedication to crafting spaces that inspire calm and reflection.
The water features are a central part of the project’s mission to introduce more natural elements into the dense urban fabric of Hong Kong. These features offer visitors peaceful, intimate spaces to enjoy moments of relaxation. Designed with sustainability in mind, our water features incorporate energy-efficient circulation systems that align with the project’s eco-friendly goals.
This award not only recognises the overall excellence of Two Taikoo Place but also highlights the importance of the collaboration between all stakeholders. We are thrilled that our contributions, alongside the work of Swire Properties and other partners, helped bring this visionary project to life.
