HONG KONG TAI SANG BANK

位於香港中心位置的大生銀行大廈建於1967年，是該地區建築物中的先驅。也是因此，它的高度相比幾十年後建造的毗鄰建築較低。曾經，建築的三面立面都可以享受陽光，因此立麵包含了垂直且較寬的遮陽元素設計。而目前，它位於較高的中銀大廈和大眾銀行大廈之間，只留下一個主立面面向德沃埃路。
設計首先考慮的是立即去除三面的垂直陰影，並儘可能打開主立面以接收陽光，尤其是來自東面的光照。對於一個相對較低的建築物，在立面上保持垂直線性語言至關重要。現有的窗戶需要保持不變，因為租戶將繼續租用辦公空間。為打破原先的窗戶的僵硬和重複感，新的立面設計嘗試創建一個新網格，以多個窗口為單位，創造新的多變的窗框。只用三個窗口模塊組成動態的立面模式。主立面的主要材料是石板，新的窗框使用玫瑰金塗層金屬面板。黃金元素一直是大生銀行大廈的標識。雨篷上的懸掛金條是銀行入口的主要裝飾元素。
Built in 1967, Tai Sang building has been a pioneer in the most important district (Central) in Hong Kong. Therefore, it is relatively lower than its surroundings that were built decades later. The existing façade has deep vertical shade features on the 3 sides of building that were used to be the prime faces that received optimal sunlight. Currently, it sits right in the middle between BOC tower and Public Bank tower that are taller and leaves only 1 main façade facing Des Voeux Road Central.
The initial approach is to immediately remove the vertical shades on 3 sides and open up as much as possible to allow the main facade to receive sunlight, especially from the east. It is essential to maintain the vertical linear language on the façade for a relatively low building. The existing windows need to remain untouched as tenants will continue to rent the office spaces. They were very rigid in repetitive manner. The new proposed façade attempts to create a new grid for multiple window modules that give variation as new window frames. Only with 3 window modules puzzled into a dynamic façade pattern. The main materials used are stone panels for the main façade and rose gold coated metal panel for the new window frame. The gold element has been the identity for Tai Sang building. The hanging gold bar on the canopy is a main feature to ornament the main entrance to the bank.
