The adoption of a high-rise main building block at the central portion of the development and

two low-rise building blocks at the north and south ends provides a highly permeable view
enhancing visual relief of the development at the Site and facilitates the air ventilation of the
surrounding area. A retail frontage facing Sai Yee Street and Argyle Street is provided at ground

level to enhance street vibrancy.

It allows preservation of the visual and air ventilation corridors which comply with the OZP
requirement for provision of a 30 metre-wide building gap above 23 metres above Principal

Datum along Mong Kok Road. It will also generate more opportunities for the provision of
more POS on the lower, more accessible levels of the development, limit overshadowing on the
streetscape, enhance air ventilation and visual permeability as well as maintain existing east-west
view corridor to the green backdrop of Kadoorie Hill along Fife Street (Figure 7). The grid-

pattern of Mong Kok district’s characteristic narrow streets is conceptually extended into the
proposed development.
