Stargazing Facilities_Sai Kung

‘萬千的皎潔星座 圍著朗月分佈就坐
在千秋不變星座 存著你或我
萬千的皎潔星座 圍著朗月分佈就坐
用悲愴交響樂 寧靜宇宙撮然驚破’

設計靈感來自大自然和欣賞大自然。彎曲的人體工學觀星輪廓是尊重風景秀麗的西貢海岸線。對於忙碌的香港人來說,這是一個舒適的地方,可以在郊野公園小徑中間躺下感受夜空的美麗。淺木色和淡淡的木紋將設計融入大自然。作為生動城市的對立面,該設計是向本地和遊客徒步旅行者展示香港自然一面的窗口,亦是對香港形象的重新思考。有機項鍊形式的型態尊重廢棄營地現有的植被線,並在施工過程中實現零砍伐樹木。若你路經此地,可以再坐一會,寫下屬於你的星河傳說。

‘Thousands of bright constellations sitting around the bright moon. In the eternal constellation, there is you or me…

Thousands of bright constellations sitting around the bright moon. With a symphony of pathos, the peaceful universe is suddenly shattered’

The design is inspired by nature and for admiring nature. The curved ergonomics stargazing profile not just resembles the dynamics of the scenic shoreline of Sai Kung. It is a comfortable spot for us to lie down and feel the beauty of the night sky at the middle of a country park trail. The light wood color with a touch of timber grain blends the design into Mother Nature. As a counterpart to the vivid city, the design is a window to unveil the natural side of Hong Kong to local and tourist hikers, provoking a rethink of the image of Hong Kong. The conscious organic necklace-form respects the existing vegetation line of abandoned campsite and achieves zero tree felling during its construction. You can sit down, look and dream on the stars when you walk pass the hiking trail.
