Baker Circle

As designer for Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates

Baker Circle

Baker Circle is a mixed-use project of residence and retail development encompassing seven blocks. Located at the heart of Kowloon near various metro stations, the project is sympathetic to the heritage and character of Whampoa Street and the Hung Hom district. The design draws inspiration from the area’s ship building history and warehouse typologies, with colors and materiality reminiscent of the neighborhood’s past.

Comprised of seven parcels and nine towers, the project is truly a city within a city. In contrast to the surrounding mega building blocks, the site is broken into a series of finely grained urban destinations, including small pavilions and varied public spaces in addition to the towers. Vibrant pedestrian flow seamlessly permeates the site via streets, passages, plazas, and elevated terraces connecting the towers, retail podiums, and public spaces.
