藍塘道23-29號為香港引入了新的住宅類型：聯(lián)排別墅。 KPF使用鑄造青銅，通過整合工藝和主要城市環(huán)境，體現(xiàn)項目對私密性和人性化的高度關(guān)注。

九座豪宅坐落在獨特而狹長的地塊內(nèi)，面向南部密集的城市空間和北部的綠色山坡。有角度的玻璃和米色花崗巖外立面設(shè)計靈感源自中國傳統(tǒng)文化元素，如折疊屏風，長城和龍舞，構(gòu)成了獨特的街道景觀。每個單元均采用縮小的手工制作的鑄銅私密屏風和門細部——通過精細的“大規(guī)模定制”流程，獲得最佳材料。

KPF決定采用青銅，是由于其豐富、溫暖且獨具吸引力的視覺屬性。因此，團隊測試了20多種合金混合物，最終獲得了預期的顏色效果---深棕色和金色，淡色和過度飽和之間的最佳點。這種做法還需要明確材料的銅綠水平及其不可避免的氧化作用。團隊都希望青銅組件能夠歷久彌新，因此，最終決定采用聚合物來穩(wěn)定金屬，盡管這樣屏風視覺上會缺乏光澤，但會更穩(wěn)定。業(yè)主承諾連續(xù)兩年每兩個月給青銅涂蠟，避免青銅接觸任何氧氣。

設(shè)計和制作工藝也體現(xiàn)了青銅雕塑和工業(yè)品質(zhì)的融合，平衡了成本控制和視覺完整性。KPF與UAP合作，委托本地藝術(shù)設(shè)計公司，將屏風設(shè)計為單元共享車道和各個入口之間的可滲透邊界。團隊并不是為每個單元定制屏風，而是為該地塊18戶住宅提供兩種面板類型，它們以不同的模式組合，形成視覺趣味性。同時，KPF決定對青銅的鑄造過程進行真實的表達，液態(tài)金屬設(shè)置在粘土模具中。最終產(chǎn)品展示了粘土有機、不完美的質(zhì)地紋理表達。

這些深思熟慮的決定最終為藍塘道項目提供了獨具魅力的場所感，包括體現(xiàn)基地輪廓的石頭細節(jié)，水培垂直綠墻和室外空間。低密度住宅方案設(shè)計既提供了獨具魅力的區(qū)別于塔樓的生活方案，又體現(xiàn)了香港其他住宅空間的典型特征。

23-29 Blue Pool Road introduced a new residential typology to Hong Kong: the townhouse.KPF’s use of cast bronze epitomizes the project’s attention to the private, human scale through the integration of craft and nature within a major city.

Nine luxury houses sit on a uniquely long and narrow site, facing a densely built urban context to the south and a green hillside slope to the north. Traditional elements of Chinese culture such as the folding screen, the Great Wall, and the dragon dance inspired the angled, glass and beige granite facade, composing a distinctive street wall landscape. Narrowing in scale, each unit displays handcrafted, cast bronze privacy screens and door details—the result of a careful “mass customization” process to procure the best possible material outcome.

KPF’s decision to employ bronze derived from its rich, warm, and inviting visual attributes. As such,the team tested more than twenty alloy mixtures to yield the desired color—a sweet spot between dark brown and gold, dully pale and overly saturated. This practice also required determining an approach to the material’s level of patina and its inevitable oxidation. With a shared aspiration for the bronze to age beautifully, the team reached a compromise in which the screens would lack visible luster but remain stabilized, foregoing the application of polymer that would fossilize the metal.Instead, the client committed to the routine of applying beeswax every two months for two years,which seals the bronze from any contact with oxygen.

The design and fabrication process also demonstrated the confluence of bronze’s sculptural and industrial qualities, balancing cost control and visual integrity. Working with UAP, KPF commissioned a local artist to design the screen as a permeable boundary between the units’ shared driveway and individual entrances. Rather than customizing screens for each unit, the team employed two panel types for the site’s 18 houses, which, when combined in varying patterns, provoke visual interest. In turn, KPF’s decision to maintain the bronze’s honest expression harks back to the casting procedure,in which liquid metal sets within a clay mould of the design. The final product shows the impression of clay’s organic, imperfect texture.

These meticulous decisions translate to Blue Pool Road’s welcoming sense of place, including stone detailing that restores the natural contour line of the site, hydroponic, vertical green walls, and outdoor spaces. The low-density residential scheme provides a compelling alternative to the tower living that typifies the rest of the Hong Kong residential environment.
