Hong Kong's Double Cove energy reduction residential complex sustainable design

Henderson Land Development Co. Ltd's project Double Cove sets a new benchmark for large-scale residential developments.

With panoramic views of two bays and bordered by extensive woodland and coastline, Double Cove’s masterplan features 265,000 square metres of sustainable housing in 21 residential towers ranging in size from 10 to 35 storeys.

It comes with ample green space covering 50 percent of the site. Green roofs, walls and water features are scattered throughout the development to combat the heat island effect.

Double Cove incorporates 3,500 residential units, as well as a shopping mall, clubhouse, kindergarten, car parks, landscaped gardens and a central park which acts as the precinct’s ‘green lung’.

There's more than 80 electric vehicle charge stations at Ma On Shan, at 39 Conduit Road.

Recycled rainwater harvesting captures 1,700 cubic metres of water each year, saving around 70 percent of the precinct’s drinking water.
