I'm Leo, a final-year Architecture student with a passion for community-driven and sustainable urban design. My graduation project, Community Clubhouse, explores the informal grassroots spaces of Bishop Hill in Hong Kong, where residents have self-built pathways, fitness areas, and gathering spaces. Through adaptive reuse and modular design strategies, I aim to legitimize and reimagine these spaces, bridging heritage, safety, and functionality across three zones: sports, gathering, and natural sightseeing, while honoring the community's living culture and identity.
Community Clubhouse reimagines Bishop Hill’s informal, self-built spaces in Sham Shui Po. For decades, residents spontaneously constructed fitness areas and clifftop viewpoints without official planning. While rich in grassroots identity, these structures face safety hazards, ecological damage, and usage conflicts. Rejecting top-down demolition, this project adopts a bottom-up, co-creative framework grounded in community research. The design reorganizes the site into three distinct zones: Zone A (Sports Area) features modular pavilions, Zone B (Gathering Area) serves as a flexible civic commons, and Zone C (Natural Sightseeing Area) restores ecology and pathways—successfully integrating informal heritage into sustainable urban management.
「社區會所」重新構想香港深水埗主教山上的非正式居民自建空間。數十年來，居民在未經官方規劃下，自發搭建健身設施與山頂觀景台。這些空間雖承載深厚的草根文化，卻面臨安全隱患、生態破壞及使用衝突。
本項目以社區研究為基礎，採用由下而上的共創設計框架。方案將場地劃分為三個區域：A區為設有模組化涼亭的運動區；B區作為靈活的公共聚集空間；C區則為自然觀景區，致力修復生態環境並改善路徑安全。此設計成功將非正式文化遺產融入可持續的城市管理之中。
