ECHO House is Hong Kong's first private residential project constructed using the Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) method, with over 80% of the residential area utilising MiC technology. This approach significantly reduces the impact on neighbouring communities through efficient and safe construction practices.
The project prioritises residents' health and community well-being, incorporating multi-layered greenery and sky gardens to create an urban oasis within a high-density city, improving the local microclimate. The terraced building design widens streets, making them more pedestrian-friendly, while an open plaza and landscaped steps provide additional outdoor activity spaces for the community.
Green spaces infused with biophilic elements allow residents to connect with nature, experience the seasonal changes of trees and plants, and protect local biodiversity while offering comfortable venues for social activities. Vertical greenery forms a natural barrier, effectively reducing noise and improving air quality, revitalising the old neighbourhood and achieving United Nation Sustainable Development Goals.
Residential unit balconies feature planting areas, enabling residents to grow plants and vegetables, enjoy outdoor spaces, and embrace the "Farm to Table" lifestyle, promoting green and sustainable living.
Through a design philosophy centred on life, community connection, and climate resilience, ECHO House redefines sustainable living. It fosters a more liveable environment, creating a better quality of life for the community and its residents.
