HKJC Conghua Racecourse Grandstand
The roof is the key element of the Hong Kong Jockey Club Conghua Racecourse – a large, catenary hanging structure that clearly defines the Grandstand as a place yet blends into the landscape of the surrounding green mountains when viewed from afar. The roof welcomes visitors and creates a gathering place for all; it both opens and focuses views across all activities within the Grandstand and beyond; it collects energy from the sun while subtly reflecting the sky in its textured glazed surfaces. The individual grandstand buildings are placed along the existing racetrack, each program clearly defined within its footprint, all gathered underneath the sloping roofscape. The Grandstand The racecourse site is situated in a picturesque mountain landscape, famous for its air quality, clear rivers and revitalizing hot springs. The project consists of a VIP area and a smaller public area right next to it. Due to the traditional domestic form of the roof, arriving at the venue feels like approaching a grand home. The large-scale yet welcoming structure marks the main entry point and ushers visitors through a range of activities and experiences that unfold over the course of race day.
