Aim
Employees are overworked and unhappy in their jobs. The average worker spends more than 44 hours at work every week. So they especially cherish the holiday time. I hope that the family can relax and get away from the troubles of the city.

Expensive Housing
Hong Kong has a booming economy, wellknown for its skyscrapers and considered to be a perfect example of the modern city. A huge centre for culture and a fast adapting urban environment make Hong Kong one of the most expensive places to buy property. Urban places are densely populated with few wide open spaces
Overworked Pressure
Hong Kong is a bustling metropolis with a highly competitive and fast-paced environment, which can create a significant amount of pressure on its people. The city’s high cost of living, competitive job market, and densely populated living conditions can all contribute to stress and anxiety.
In order to further understand their background, we collected different materials, about most of the lifestyles of people in Central, and studied why they would go to Lamma Island during their holidays. In fact, most people in cities are under heavy pressure. Working hours in Hong Kong are very long. So they will cherish the time of vacation, leave the urban environment they think, and relax in Lamma Island.
The Programme
We will be challenged to creatively and divergently design a mixed use Temple of Antitheses, which examines sensory and social condition of the Hong Kong Seaside settlement.
