1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Guide conveys the objectives and vision for the Midfield Concourse and provides each
Tenant with guidelines on how to approach the fit out of their premises so as to be
sympathetic with the ambience and safety standards of the Midfield Concourse. In this
context, all Tenants will be required to meet high standards for design and quality of fit-out,
as well as comply with all relevant constraints. The objective of this document is to set out
the unique design requirements and limitations to be followed by Tenants taking up and
fitting out premises located in the Midfield Concourse building.
Each Tenant shall follow and conform to all obligations defined herein, as well as all rules,
regulations and requirements that the Landlord may promulgate relative to the design and
construction of the Tenant areas. In the event of conflict between this document and the
Airport Authority Hong Kong document entitled ‘Tenant Fit-Out Handbook’, the Tenant shall
seek the advice of the Airport Authority Hong Kong prior to commencing works. The
Airport Authority Hong Kong reserves the right to request the Tenant to carry out
rectification works, at his own cost, for any part of the fit out works which is deemed to
contravene the requirements of this guide and which does not have prior agreement with
the Landlord.
The contents herein do not relieve the Tenant of the obligation to verify the as built
conditions on site and the location of Landlord and Tenant services that run within and
serve the Tenant’s unit. In addition to the requirements stated herein, each Tenant shall be
responsible for compliance with all Statutory Requirements, Codes of Practice, the Fire
Safety Strategy for the Midfield Concourse, requirements of utility companies and all Airport
Authority Hong Kong procedure’s applicable to the design and construction of the Midfield
Concourse works. The Tenant shall be responsible for the submission of all designs to the
relevant bodies to obtain approvals and consents prior to commencing the works.
This Guide should be read in conjunction with other documentation produced to inform
Tenants of the constraints affecting Tenant fit-out design.
Items (1) to (4) above will be issued to the Tenant. All other documents will be made
available, upon request, for inspection in the offices of the Landlord.
1.3 Abbreviations
Unless otherwise stated, the abbreviations use in this guide shall have the following
meaning:
The retail, F&B units and CIP lounges are optimized for the Departures passenger flows
through the MFC. Retail, F&B units and CIP lounges are mainly located in the Departures
Concourse on Level 6 and 7. 2 CIP lounges are also located on Level 5 with direct,
dedicated access from Level 6. Refer to Appendix Fig A.2.1 – A.4.1.
Departing Passengers
Passengers are required to pass through Security & Immigrations check point in Terminal 1
or 2 before taking the APM at East hall to the MFC.
Transferring Passengers
Depending on the location of their onward flight, transferring passengers may be processed
either at the MFC or Terminal 1. Passengers who are transferring from Terminal 1 shall
follow the same route as arrival passengers. Passengers who are transferring within the
MFC shall go through transfer security on Level 5 and re-circulate to the Departures
Concourse for their next flight.
Members of staff may access the building using the APM or airside vehicles. Dedicated
doors with access control are provided for staff to directly access departures, arrivals, retail
/ F&B storage and loading areas. Within the building, circulation is similar to passenger
circulation in front of house areas, but members of staff may also gain access to back of
house areas through doors with access control. A staff channel is provided in the Level 5
Transfer Security area allowing staff movement from Departures to Arrivals.
The building is designed to be operationally and energy efficient, with a distinct identity.
Some specific objectives manifest in the resolved MFC design are:
Retail units are located along the primary circulation in the central node area and along the
north and south concourses on Level 6. This arrangement is supplemented with F&B
outlets, and CIP lounges on Level 7 in the central node to draw interest and create key
focal points of activity.
The retail layout is designed to optimize the frontage length and maximize the number of
shops provided. The shop fronts generate interest when viewed upon passenger arrival
from the central departures escalators and lifts, and from within the north and south arms of
the concourse
Dedicated F&B outlets are located next to the eastern exterior glazing on Level 6.
Open type units which may be used for exhibition or F&B purposes. Two open type units in
the central node, and one open type unit in each concourse. These units are equipped with
provisions for light refreshment or cafeteria use, they are positioned to provide service to
the majority of passengers passing through the MFC.
The flexible planning and services provisions on Level 7 allow the four quadrants to be
used for F&B and CIP Lounges. The two eastern quadrants are primarily intended for F&B
usage, the southwestern quadrant is intended for CIP lounges, and the northwestern
quadrant is intended for a food court.
Plans showing the general disposition of retail, F&B and CIP lounge spaces of different
types throughout the building are shown in Appendix Fig. A.1.1 – A.4.1.The materials have
been selected to provide a relaxing ambience and promote a pleasant shopping and dining
experience, thereby encouraging increased dwell time.
The floor finish of the circulation spaces is polished homogenous floor tiles set on a
modular grid. Accented highlights are integrated into the floor pattern.
Bulkheads over shops on the Level 6 feature metallic champagne bronze colored aluminum
clad surfaces and nosing. The shopfront of the node units feature a front-illuminated,
PART 2
continuous white (RAL 9016) backpainted and acid etched glass downstand; while the
concourse units feature continuous grey (RAL 7012) backpainted laminated glass
downstand with integrated shopfront identity signage, refer to section 3.2.9. Tenants are
not permitted to alter the retail bulkhead in anyway without the permission of the
Landlord.For bulkhead details refer to the Appendix Fig. A.5 and A.6.
3.1 Ge n e ra l De s ig n Is s u e s
The following sub-section is generally applicable to all front of house types of tenancies
within the MFC directly accessible by passengers. These include retail, F&B and CIP
lounges. Plans showing the general disposition of retail, F&B and CIP lounge spaces of
different types throughout the building are shown in the Appendix, Fig A.1.1 – A.4. Tenants
shall achieve BEAM Plus Interiors Gold rating for all fitout works.
The following general design principles of MFC should be considered by the front of house
Tenants within their design concept:
• Contribution of the Tenant's high quality design proposal and standard to the Midfield
Concourse’s excellent ambience and identity;
• Optimized operational efficiency and development of incremental and impulse sales;
• Tenants are expected to produce designs which incorporates their individual corporate
brand identity, contributing presence whilst remaining compatible with the public areas;
• Front of house tenancies shall be seen as integral with the design of MFC Landlord
area and thereby complement the overall architectural theme.
Cooking is not permitted in any area except in enclosed kitchens with 2 hour fire rated
enclosures.
Fixtures and fittings within the tenancy shall be selected to achieve Class 1 Surface Spread
of Flame under BS 476 Part 7 or equivalent.
Specialist products used for the above purpose shall be tested and certified in accordance
with relevant British Standard requirements and shall also be capable of satisfying the
requirements of BD/FSD with respect to Class 1 Surface Spread of Flame when used in
conjunction with the proposed materials of construction.
The following areas within MFC have extended travel distances greater than those
stipulated under Buildings Department’s Code of Practice for Fire Safety in Buildings, 2011:
PART 3
1. Level 5 – Arrivals Level;
2. Level 6 – Departures Concourse Level;
3. Level 7 – Mezzanine Level
The extended travel distances have been allowed subject to the following inherent features
that contribute to fire safety:
Tenants are responsible for these criteria to be reasonably satisfied within the tenancies
and these shall be criteria used by the Landlord in considering the Tenant’s submitted
designs.
The interior of each tenancy must be of a standard equal to the shopfront / frontage design
and surrounding environment and also be suitable for the product / services on offer.
Tenants are encouraged to maintain the clear legible nature of the passenger spaces in
their store theme and planning. The interior of the tenancies shall be designed with equal
attention to detail as the shopfront displays. If a Tenant has a brand or corporate image,
this should be carried through from the shopfront signage into the interior of the tenancy.
Tenants shall be responsible for floor finishes within their premises. The flooring shall be
left by the Landlord with a clean ‘as cast’ concrete slab finish for application of screed by
the Tenant. In most cases the existing slab has a smooth finish and the Tenant should
take steps to ensure an adequate bonding of the screed with the structural concrete slab.
The tenant should use a high performance screed with a proprietary screed additive to
achieve the required bonding and not by the scabbling of the existing concrete. The tenant
is responsible for the supply and installation of their own floor finish; this shall be subject to
prior approval from the Landlord.
The total available depth for the provision of Tenant screed and floor finish measured from
the concrete floor slab to the FFL provided by the Landlord adjacent to the tenancy varies
with building structure tolerances, but is typically in the region of 100mm. Raised slabs to
accommodate lift overruns are present inside units 6MC 005 and 6MC 207, at these
locations the total available depth over the raised slabs is approximately 50mm.
No raising of floor finishes above public area finished floor level is permitted within retail
areas without the Landlord's prior approval.
Generally, floor surfaces are subject to heavy wear and tear through circulation of
passengers. Materials specified for the common area are chosen for their durability, ease
of cleaning and maintenance without causing undue disruption to the operation of the MFC.
Tenants shall follow these principles in the selection of their floor finishes.
PART 3
Floor finishes or anti-slip coating applied to the floor finishes shall achieve dynamic
coefficient of friction (DCOF) of minimum 0.60 or above in both dry and wet conditions on
the floor surface upon completion of the floor finishes works; and a minimum DCOF of 0.40
shall be maintained for at least 12 months under normal wear and tear conditions.
If anti-slip coatings are used, the tenant shall submit the material literature of the anti-slip
coating for the Landlord’s approval.
Testing instrument:
Methodology:
1. Position the self propelling device Tortus on the surface for the test;
2. Drive the Tortus across the surface;
3. Use a leather shoe to the reel of the Tortus for measuring the surface in dry condition;
4. Use (Four S) rubber shoe to the reel of the Tortus for measuring the surface in wet
condition.
Adjacent floor finishes and interfaces shall be finished flush to minimize tripping hazards.
Tenants are not permitted to remove, replace or in any way alter the Landlord’s common
area floor finishes. Tenants shall respect the demise line and the Tenants proposed floor
finishes shall abut with the Landlord finishes.
Tenants shall be responsible to replace defective floor finishes and maintain a smooth floor
level within the Tenant area.
Wherever screeding precedes partition installation, screed angles forming the edge of the
screed area adjacent to dry-lined walls may be omitted. Where screeding follows partition
installation, the screed angle shall be installed. All fire-rated walls are to be installed prior to
screeding.
All floor finishes shall not emit toxic fumes when exposed to fire.
Tenants shall ensure that the noise levels resulting from the operation of any plant,
equipment and any activities within the tenancy area will not cause nuisance to other
Tenants, interfere with airport operational requirements or cause disturbance to passengers.
Tenants shall pay particular attention in their fit-out design to all potential noise generating
sources within their tenancy and incorporate devices such as silencers, isolation, insulation
etc., in order to prevent the transfer of noise and/or vibration to adjacent spaces.
Where a noise complaint is filed against the Tenant, a recognized acoustic consultant shall
be employed by the Landlord to determine if noise from the Tenant have exceeded the
noise criteria. The noise criterion of NC40 shall be adopted; all measurements shall be
conducted with an IEC type 1 sound level meter and shall satisfy standard acoustical
PART 3
practices.
3.1.7 Security
Doors to the rear of tenancies, where they occur, shall be fitted by the Landlord with
ironmongery. To facilitate evacuation in the event of an incident the ironmongery shall
always allow egress from the tenancy.
Some inter-tenancy walls on Level 6 include open mesh above designated Tenant ceiling
level to the soffit above. The Tenant may provide additional security, however provision for
passage of smoke must be maintained.
Burglar alarms devices may be installed by Tenants but they shall not be of audible type.
The flashing component of the burglar alarm must not be installed at any location visible by
passengers.
CCTV and access control can be made available to Tenants within the Tenant area subject
to approval by the Landlord.(See section 8.6.4 for CCTV details) Face detection device
shall not be used.
Operation, maintenance and repair of security shutter is the tenant’s own responsibility.
(see 3.2.3 for shutter details)
Tenants are required to maintain visibility of EXIT signs provided by the Landlord within
their tenancy. Tenants shall install additional LED illuminated EXIT or directional signs as
required to ensure compliance with the current Codes of Practices of the Fire Services
Department and Buildings Department, or where sight lines to those provided by the
Landlord are blocked.
EXIT signs provided by the Landlord within tenancies shall be the subject of routine
inspection and maintenance to be undertaken by the Landlord. Such inspections shall also
include Exit Signs installed by the Tenant but in this case any required maintenance arising
shall be the Tenants responsibility.
Unit enclosure and inter-tenancy walls are generally of dry wall, blockwork or concrete
construction provided by the Landlord. The tenant is not allowed to hang cabinets or
shelves or other heavy pictures, frames, signages or furniture off such partitions. Any new
PART 3
internal walls provided by the Tenant shall be designed to allow the passage of smoke
above the ceiling level.
The Tenant shall provide final finishes and any additional cladding required to existing
tenancy walls and columns. Tenants shall install all walls and partitions within the tenancy
boundary.
Blockwork and concrete walls exposed to public view must be rendered, painted or clad at
the Tenant’s cost. Electrical distribution must be concealed from view, either within the wall
cavity or behind cladding.

Steel posts are contained within some tenancies. They are coated with fire retardant paint,
which shall not be compromised in any way. The steel columns may be clad or concealed
within walls but no fixings to the steel columns shall be permitted.
The Tenant, upon completion of the license/lease agreement, shall make good to the
original condition the Landlord’s wall finishes and any modifications he has made to
Landlord’s shell and core.
All glass partitions, screens, or light-boxes, within the region of 500mm setback from
demise line or along the demise line to the public, shall either withstand, or be protected
from, impact by passengers, baggage or trolleys, etc. Where light boxes, glazed screens,
or any other types of walls border public areas, they are to be designed as protective
barriers in accordance with BS 6180 Table 2(f). This gives the following load cases
(separately applied): -
• Horizontal uniformly distributed load of 3.0kN/m applied 1100mm above FFL in case
of those structures located in an area with expected crowd load or level difference;
or horizontal uniformly distributed load of 0.75kN/m applied 1100mm above FFL for
structures located elsewhere;
• Horizontal pressure of 1.0kPa for infill panels or 1.5kPa for glass panels; and a point
load of 1.0kN applied to any part of the infill panel or 1.5kN applied to any part of a
glass panel.
These figures are slightly in excess of those figures quoted in the Buildings (Construction)
Regulations but are considered more appropriate for this situation.
Deflection limits of span/250 for double end supported members and span/150 for
cantilevered members apply for the above loadings separately applied.
Tenants are required to show conclusive proof of safety in terms of impact and abrasion
resistance in accordance with BS 6206:1981(1994), BS 6262-4:1994, BS EN 12150, and
BS EN ISO 12543 where safety, tempered and heat soaked glass has been specified.
All full height glazing utilizing clear glass shall be permanently marked to indicate the
presence of glass, for example, by using dots or bands at eye level (1.5m above FFL). The
Tenant may refer to UK Building Regulations Part K Manifestation for general guidance on
such design. All signs and/or logos on glass are subject to the Landlord's approval.
PART 3
Protective barriers or satin stainless steel buffer rails with a diameter of 50mm should be
added where required to meet the above objectives. The tenant is advised to take
consideration of the height, size and maneuvering of luggage trolleys and to provide extra
protective rails as required.
The Tenant is to ensure the integrity of all fire rated walls, columns and steel posts that
border or are located within his Tenancy. No wall mounted cabinets or the like are
permitted to be fixed to fire rated walls or columns, including steel columns. No chasing of
fire rated walls shall be permitted.
The Tenant shall not make alterations which will reduce, change or eliminate the character
of fire protective structures, panels or barriers.
Tenants should note that construction tolerance for concrete structural elements of the
main building frame is nominally plus or minus 25mm. Tenants are advised to take site
measurements prior to the preparation of detail design drawings.
In the event of a Tenant occupying two or more adjoining tenancies the inter-tenancy wall
may be demolished. Upon completion of the license/lease agreement such walls and
associated mesh for smoke passage shall be reinstated by the Tenant.
The Tenant shall develop their design bearing in mind that upon completion of the
license/lease agreement, they shall make good to original condition all modifications made
to Landlord’s services, structure, shell and core, finishes, flooring, walling, shutters and
components/assemblies forming part of the premises at handover.
Tenants are required to design and install ceilings, wall cladding and cabinetry such that
they allow access by Landlord to Landlord’s services located in the ceiling void above the
Tenants ceiling and at any other locations in walls and floors (minimum panel size to be no
less than 450x450mm). The Tenant should refer to the M&E drawings available from the
Landlord for the extrent of the Landlord services and also arrange to visit the site at regular
intervals through the Tenant design development process to verify exact ‘as installed’
Landlord services arrangement and their locations.
Access panels and the like shall be provided for access to cable containments, valves,
switches, fire dampers, cleaning eyes and other electrical and mechanical equipment
requiring maintenance. Access panels shall be limited in size and weight to facilitate safe
PART 3
handling by one person. Tenants shall submit details of their access panels, intended for
installation as part of their drawing submission for approval by the Landlord.
Tenants’ finishes and light fittings should not block Landlord building services or access
panels.
Tenants shall inform the Landlord of the location, size and weight of any safe or heavy
equipment within Tenant area. Prior approval from the Landlord is required before
HONG KONG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT November 2014 Version -
File Ref.: MFC TDG Issue No 4 - Section 3 Issue No.: 4
HONG KONG AIRPORT AUTHORITY 3- 7
installation, as well as removal, of any heavy equipment. In case of intended specific heavy
objects, furniture or equipment such as safe, vault, stone sculpture or filing cabinets, load
spreader, tenant shall submit properly designed and certified proposal by a Registered
Structural Engineer for the Landlord’s approval. Refer to Section 10.2 for design loadings,
and structural loading report available separately from the Landlord.
Ceilings provided by the Tenant shall comply with the fire engineering and smoke control
requirements. Ceilings shall have a minimum 30% free area of the total ceiling area;
openings in the ceilings shall be evenly distributed. Where perforated ceiling tiles are used
the holes shall not be less than 4mm diameter. Perforations and openings in the ceiling
shall not be blocked by acoustic backing, debris or other materials that will inhibit the free
passage of smoke through the ceiling. The minimum free area for smoke venting shall be
maintained during tenant fit out and course of tenancy. The Tenant shall keep
600mmclearance for smoke extraction outlets from cabins, racks or other obstacles.
Tenant’s ceiling panels shall be evenly distributed within the retail unit to evenly obscure the
soffit or cabin roof above. Any E&M services (such as diffuser, grille, light fitting, sprinkler
head, detector speaker) or decorations installed on the ceilings shall not reduce the
minimum 30% open ceiling area. All ceiling layouts shall be subject to the Landlord’s
approval.
All materials used in or above the suspended ceiling shall be Non-combustible under BS
476 Part 8 or equivalent. Paint finishes shall be Class 1 Surface Spread of Flame under
BS 476 Part 7 or equivalent. All wirings above the ceiling shall be low smoke emission type
and installed in metal ducting, conduit or trunking. Tenant ceiling shall in no case be lower
than 2.5m above FFL and not higher than 4.5m above FFL.
The Tenant shall extend the existing upper level sprinkler system to provide lower layer
sprinkler installation at the suspended ceiling level. All sprinklers shall be fast response
sprinklers (RTI ≤ 50m 0.5s0.5 and operating temperature of 68oC), to control fire growth at
source and mitigate the risk of fire spread. Under no circumstances would concealed type
sprinklers be considered.
It is essential that perforations in any ceiling tile system do not compromise the buildup of
heat at the sprinkler head and therefore extend the activation time beyond that which would
be expected for a solid ceiling. Any heat sink plate fitted to the sprinklers shall not reduce
the minimum 30% open ceiling area.
Equipment within the ceiling void shall be supported from a suitable suspension system
independent of the ceiling. Fixing methods and loading of suspension structure should
observe structural loading limitations. All slab fixing methods, types and locations must be
PART 3
approved by the Landlord prior to construction. No drilling, anchorage, or self tapping fixing
method for ceiling shopfront and floor finishes should have impact on the structural stability,
reinforcement, or concrete integrity.
Security grilles installed above inter-tenancy walls within the ceiling void shall not be
modified or obstructed by materials or items that will inhibit the free passage of smoke.
Tenants shall note that the slabs and beams of the soffit above the Level 5 and Level 6
node are of reinforced concrete construction while that of Level 6 cabin and Level 7 are
steel framed, with cement/steel fire resistant board lining construction.
Refer to Appendix Fig A.1.1 - A.4.1 for the location of retail and F&B units.
Refer to Appendix Fig A.5 & A.6 for typical Level 6 unit elevation and section.
As a primary element of the overall design and ambience of the retail and F&B areas, the
Landlord requires great emphasis to be paid to the merchandising of the shopfront.
Tenants are encouraged to propose creative and inventive shopfronts, designed in
accordance with these guidelines, and maintain their self identity.
Tenants shall make use of environmental friendly and energy saving light fixtures wherever
possible.
Retail and F&B units are intended to maintain an open shopfront approach to permit free
movement and access. Free standing shelving in retail cabin units shall not exceed 1.5m
high.
Shelving, counter or display units in open type exhibition and F&B units shall not exceed
1.3m high. Unit’s branding and signage shall not exceed 2.4m in height, and shall not
obstruct views to any wayfinding signage.
The Landlord provides manually operated, horizontal sliding and folding security shutters to
the open shopfronts of the cabin units as part of the base provision. These are not fire
rated but are part of the make up air requirements associated with smoke extraction
systems.
Shutters are made up of white (RAL 9016) powder coated, extruded aluminum links, with
polycarbonate vision panels and openings for make-up air as required. Security shutters
are lightweight to enable shutter operation with ease.
Security shutters are contained fully within the tenancy area, including shutter housing and
guide rails. Tenants shall adopt the shutters within the tenancy area and shall be solely
responsible for their operation and maintenance. In the event that a shutter requires partial
or complete replacement at any time, then such work shall be undertaken by the tenant at
PART 3
his own cost. Replacement shutters shall match in performance and appearance, those
they are intended to replace. No other means shall be used by the tenant to secure his
premise at the shopfront.
The stability, integrity and the normal operation of the shutter must remain unaffected and
openings must not be blocked whether units are closed or open or during testing and
operation of the smoke extraction system within the building. The Tenant shall keep
600mm horizontal clearance for the security shutter to prevent blocking the makeup air
outlets at the shop entrance during the shop closure hours.
Where perforated ceiling panels are to be installed, backings or linings are permitted
provided that gaps are left between panels to achieve 30% free area or otherwise these
would compromise the free area requirements for tenancy in retail areas. Where Tenants
wish to use an acoustic absorber at high level, they should consider an absorptive lining
applied to parts of the soffit or other appropriate surfaces.
The shop demise line for all retail areas on Concourse Level is defined as the maximum
extent to which display/merchandise can be placed. Retail units are considered high fire
risk areas. Shop interiors and open type units are controlled by an active fire protection
system of fast response sprinklers at both cabin ceiling level and concourse ceiling level,
plus dynamic smoke extraction system in the cabins and static smoke extraction in the
concourse roof. No objects shall be placed outside or across demise and shutter lines.
The interior design of the units should take into consideration the fire engineering principles
of specific commercial areas (For more information, please refer to Chapter 9: Fire
Engineering).
Colour and materials to all exposed wall, floor, ceiling finishes, furniture and fitting shall
complement aesthetically and qualitatively, enhancing the environment of the passenger
areas. The designated size and format of storage area, offices, changing rooms should be
in accordance with the requirements of the MFC Fire Engineering Report and related fire
engineering principles approved by Buildings Department.
Tenants shall adopt an open display concept where passengers are encouraged to "feel
and touch" the merchandise. Shop design layout should therefore encourage impulse
buying and reflect the need for efficiency, ease of browsing and speed of transaction, as
well as high operational efficiency.
Open shopfront concepts are encouraged throughout MFC to increase ease of passenger
flow and visibility. Shelving/Merchandise should be arranged in a disciplined order and aisle
widths must be adequate with at least 900 mm for passengers with baggage and disabled
persons in wheelchairs.
If partition walls or tall obstructions are to be constructed, statutory requirements for means
of escape shall be maintained as per the Landlord’s approved General Building Plans. Exit
routes and access panels for fire dampers shall not be blocked and additional illuminated
PART 3
directional or exit signs shall be provided by Tenants to suit the particular layout to comply
with the current Codes of Practices of the FSD and BD.
Lighting is an integral ingredient of the retail and F&B environment and general ambience
of the MFC. General building illumination installed by the Landlord will provide adequate
background lighting for safe and comfortable passenger circulation within the building.
Tenants shall ensure there is no glare from their fittings to the public areas nor to any
adjacent Airport signage. Tenants shall not use exposed bulbs or tubes within shops facing
public areas.
Lighting within the first 1.5m depth of the shopfront shall be designed as specific display
zone lighting to enhance the presentation of merchandise and provide contrast to the
lighting level in the passenger area.
The MFC is operational 24 hours; however, not all Tenant units in the premises are
expected to follow the same policy. It is the Landlord's policy to maintain even illumination
across retail shopfront during off-peak hours, and as such the shopfront lighting within the
display zone shall remain on during shop closure hours. The tenant shall provide, within the
tenancy, separate switching to the lighting in the display zone.
• The lighting design shall fulfil the requirements as set out in the latest Building Energy
Code (BEC) issued by EMSD. LED lighting shall be adopted wherever possible. For
other types of lamps, the latest technology with higher energy efficiency shall be
adopted. All lamps with the luminous efficacy less than 60 are not allowed except by
the approval of Authority. (Refer to 8.7.8)
• Light sources selected shall have colour rendering index of 85 or better.
• No exposed or coloured lamps shall be permitted unless approved by the Landlord.
• No flashing strobe, spinner or chase type lighting shall be permitted.
• Except for Light fittings within showcases, light fittings shall be installed at a level not
lower than 2.3m above the finished floor levels.
• Where LED lighting is used in the shopfront display, lamps must be completely
shielded.
• Pendant light fittings, luminous ceilings, chandeliers, wall brackets or glitter strips may
be used only if approved by the Landlord.
• Recessed downlight fittings shall have specular or semi-specular aluminum reflectors,
or other low brightness shielding devices.
• Surface or pendant mounted track and track light fittings may be used.
• All internally illuminated showcases and display cases must be adequately ventilated
and suitable illumination shall be installed to provide contrast against the background
lighting level.
• Self contained interior emergency lighting and illuminated EXIT / directional signs shall
be installed as required by FSD and BD.
• Lighting levels must be designed to avoid an unacceptable level of glare from all
publicly accessible viewpoints.
• Special care shall be taken for the lighting design in tenancies which have visual
PART 3
access to the Apron and daylight, to avoid causing glare to users of the operational
airfield.
Temporary lighting has been provided by the Landlord in each tenancy. The Tenant may
remove this temporary lighting during the fit-out period and make his own provisions for
permanent self-contained emergency lighting and EXIT signs, according to statutory
requirements, and to suit the fit-out planning arrangements. All temporary lighting shall be
reinstated at the end of tenancy periods.
Tenants are encouraged to design a bright shopfront to at least 1000 lux (on major vertical
faces at eyelevel). Shopfronts below 500 lux will not be permitted.
Lux levels within Tenant area should be maintained at not less than 400 lux and the light
fittings should be equipped with light dimmers.
The shop front signage of the Level 6 cabin units are provided by the Landlord; the front
facing media and lighting fitting in the Signage shall be supplied and installed by the Tenant.
The light fitting shall be LED lighting.
Tenants shall typically not be permitted to remove and replace the Landlord’s sign casings.
Tenants who wish to replace the Landlord’s sign casings may only do so if their alternative
design is deemed by Landlord to enhance the overall concept of the building and make the
retail space more interesting and lively. Only alternative designs that bring real dynamism
to the project will be considered by Landlord.
Electrical supply for the sign shall be provided and maintained by the Tenant. The Tenant
shall adopt the sign with the premise and shall be responsible for all aspects of its
maintenance including cleaning and lamp replacement.
Tenants shall be responsible for the design of the graphics and media to be installed in the
shop front signs. Size of sign graphics must be in proportion with the sign area provided.
All of the shop front sign face shall be covered by media, without gaps or joints. The Tenant
shall submit designs to the Landlord for review.
No other shop front signage will be permitted. No signage or posters shall be taped to the
walls within the Tenant’s unit. Only the Tenants approved store or business name (as
stated in the Lease and License agreement) and logo may appear on the shop front signs.
No advertising slogans, brand names or product names shall be permitted on the shop
front signs, nor any part of the Hong Kong International Airport common areas, without
Landlord approval.
The name, stamps or decals of manufacturers, installers or maintainers of signage shall not
be visible to the public.
PART 3
Floor signs, such as inserts into floor paving, etc, shall be permitted within the Tenants
lease line, but shall be subject to approval by the Landlord.
The Tenant is responsible for the design and material of the Tenant’s front facing signage
media. The signage media sub-assembly shall be designed to be fitted to the Landlord’s
signage casing, and shall not project or protrude beyond the casing. Tenants who wish to

HONG KONG AIRPORT AUTHORITY 3 - 12
install signage that exceeds the size of, or require modification to the specified signage
casing dimension is subject to Landlord’s approval. The tenant may select any appropriate
material and finish for the signage, yet the signage should not cause any undesirable

the Tenant as a low level lounge enclosure. Should the tenant wish to enhance the
privacy of the Lounge spaces, an additional glazed / perforate screen may be erected
behind the balustrade, with a 600mm wide, continuous clear space between the screen
and the inner edge of the 60mm diameter balustrade handrail, the top of which is at
1100mm above finished floor level. The clear space is intended to facilitate cleaning of
the Tenant’s screen and Landlord balustrade. The clear space may be reduced to
150mm if the screen only covers the area above the balustrade, with intermittent
structural supports below which allow reasonable access to the Landlord balustrade.

ensure that the quantity of goods (i.e. liquor) and fire fighting appliances (i.e.; fire
extinguishers) are in compliance with FSD requirements.
The full extent of the base building provisions for each of the Tenancy areas is covered in
Section 8 of this Tenancy Fit-out Guide. In summary, these include:
• Upper layer automatic fire sprinkler system employing fast response sprinklers
PART 9
• Visual fire alarm
• Emergency lighting
Provisions for smoke extraction from above the retail unit have been made from the central
smoke management systems. A common unobstructed smoke reservoir above the ceiling
shall be maintained to allow the smoke extraction system to efficiently extract smoke as
required.
9.3.2 Kitchens
Kitchens for F&B will be enclosed by 2 hour fire resisting walls and ceilings. The kitchens
shall be fully sprinklered and automatic fire shutters shall be provided at openings such as
kitchen serving hatches. Smoke extraction will not be provided.
All retail units are required to accommodate provision in the shop front for an adequate flow
of make-up air for the correct operation of the smoke management systems. This make-up
air is required to replace air withdrawn from the unit when the smoke extraction system is
activated. The make-up air should be admitted to the Tenant area and should be available
at all times. Should the Tenant wish to enclose any part of their tenancy unit with glass or
other solid material then the design of the enclosing elements must provide for the
continuous make-up air requirements.
PART 9
Tenant/licensees are required to include in their proposals all information related to the
structural design of the fit out works. Information shall include, but not be limited to the
following:
• Setting out and construction details of all partitions, canopies, ceilings, plinths and/or
bases;
• Details of methods of fixing to the concrete and steel structure;
• Materials used together with details of the materials density, thermal properties,
acoustic properties and fire rating properties;
• Design of all supporting frames.
• All items of equipment with an operational and/or static weight of more than 200 kg
giving setting out details and fixing details;
• Details of any permanent lifting equipment and/or equipment fixing, giving setting out
details, fixing details and maximum SWL;
• The setting out and maximum load capacity of all tenants fixtures including but not
limited to display cabinets, counters, storage racks, compactor units and other like
equipment and giving setting out details and fixing details;
• Details of any proposed modifications to the permanent structure including, but not
limited to, floor and wall penetrations, steel framing, cladding systems, fire protection
systems etc. A detailed description of how such modifications shall be carried out
together with mitigation measures to prevent disruption to passengers, airport
operations and/or other Tenants.
• Design calculation for all structural works. The AAHK reserves the right to request
additional calculations to support the design intent of the fit out works.
• Copies of all Statutory Submissions, together with approvals letters and consents to
carry out the works as necessary.
• Design calculations prepared by a qualified engineer for all structural works. The AAHK
reserves the right to request additional calculations to support the design intent of the
fitout works.
10.2 Loadings
The maximum design loadings allowed in the Tenant areas, resulting from the intended use
of any space, shall not exceed the design live loads and superimposed dead loads as set
out in Appendix D.
PART 10
It is expected that tenants’ partitions will be of dry wall construction (metal stud /
plasterboard) and most configurations of dry wall partitions will fall within the 100kg/m2
allowance.
The incorporation of concrete plinths and/or other supports shall be accounted in the overall
loading assessment to ensure the above criterion is met.
Tenants should note in particular that no loading may be imposed on the roof without the
express written agreement of AAHK.
The Tenant shall be responsible for the all such vibration isolation treatment to ensure that
no part of the Tenants equipment and/or operations will transmit excessive vibration to the
base structure. All equipment and/or operations which are likely to set up vibration
transmission into the base structure will be subject to Landlord approval. The Landlord
reserves the right to request the Tenant to remove/isolate/discontinue any equipment
and/or operations which are found to cause adverse structural vibrations creating
disturbance to other users.
All loading requirements must be within the allowances described in Section 10.2, including
but not limited to ceilings fixtures, building services, lifting hooks, monorails or hi beams.
The Tenant shall note the fire rating and percentage openness ratio of the completed
ceiling shall not exceed the minimum requirements of the FSS.
All loading requirements must be within the allowances described in Section 10.2, including
but not limited to kitchen equipment, building services, storage and refuse areas.
10.6.1 Concrete
The type, size, location and embedment of all masonry anchors used in the fixing of all
items are to be clearly shown on the tenants working drawings. Use of these anchors will
be subject to the consent of the Landlord. Calculations and testing results demonstrating
that the capacity of the fixings is adequate are to be submitted to the landlord for review.
Guidelines for the slabs are provided. For all other elements, reinforcement should always
be located with a cover meter prior to drilling. No cutting or drilling through the
reinforcement is permitted.
The Tenant/licensee shall have regard to the following requirements when proposing the
type and location of masonry anchors:
PART 10
Generally, the best location for making fixings to the underside of the floor is into the sides
of the ribs or beams. In all beams and ribs, fixings can be drilled into the side faces in the
zones shown. Fixing may also be achieved by drilling into the underside of the rib on its
centre line.
Fixing into the top of the slab can be achieved in slab, rib or beam zones. In the 150mm
thick slabs, only anchors requiring holes less than 90mm deep will be permissible. In the
beam and rib zones reinforcement congestion will make the installation of masonry anchors
difficult. Details should be proposed which allow for congestion in these areas and allow for
HONG KONG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT November 2014 Version -
File Ref.: MFC TDG Issue No 4 - Section 10 Issue No.: 4
HONG KONG AIRPORT AUTHORITY 10 - 3
some flexibility for variation in the actual position of reinforcement compared to that shown
on the drawings. Reinforcement is to be located with a cover meter prior to drilling into
these zones.
10.6.3 Steelwork
Fixings to support steelwork installed by Tenants shall be welded fixings. For other fixings
not requiring drilling or cutting of the support steelwork the tenant shall ensure that these
fixings do not degrade the corrosion protection or fire protection systems of the steelwork.
Where either of these systems is accidentally damaged by the fixing, the Landlord's
contractor shall repair damage at the Tenant's cost.
All fixings shall be compatible with the support steelwork and shall not allow bi-metallic
corrosion.
The following rules are provided as a guideline only to the Tenant. All holes required by the
Tenant are subject to the approval of the Landlord. No cutting by the tenant shall be carried
out until after approval is obtained.
Fixings to non-structural elements such as homogeneous floor tiles and glazing structures
are not permitted. Any fixings to blockwork are required to adhere to manufacturer's
specifications.
Notwithstanding any other rules, penetrations of maximum dimension 300mm square are
permissible anywhere within the slab panels. Any two such holes must be separated by not
less than 3 times their maximum dimension, measured between centrelines. For the
purposes of this rule, any two or more- holes that fit within a 300 mm zone can be
considered as a single hole.
It is not anticipated that small floor penetrations within the zones between ribs will be
coordinated onto the structural drawings. However penetrations of this size, which occur
through the beams, must be coordinated and are subject to the approval of the Landlord.
Penetrations on both sides of the rib are acceptable if the remaining widths of slab
connected to the beam at any rib cross section are not less than 950mm.
Except for very small penetrations all penetrations in panels immediately adjacent to
movement joints over ribs should be referred to the Landlord for review.
10.10 Walls
No generalized rules are available for the position of post-formed holes in walls. This is
because the structural functions of the walls vary greatly around the building. All proposals
will require detailed review by the Landlord.
Kitchen areas will be permitted to have a raised finished floor level in excess of the typical
100mm above structural slab level in order to accommodate drainage services. Any raised
floor levels will have to be formed using a lightweight screed in order that the superimposed
dead load does not exceed the permitted levels. Typically allowance for superimposed
dead load varies in each area. It is a combination of services and finishes loadings, of
which 0.6KPa has been allowed for services. The combined floor loading of Tenant’s
partitions and any floor finishes will not be permitted to exceed the permitted superimposed
dead load. Tenants are required to submit all proposals for approval by the Landlord. The
Tenant is responsible to submit their proposal to Buildings Department under the Minor
Works Control System.
Tenants shall inform the Landlord of the location, size and weight of any safe or heavy
equipment within the Tenant area. Prior approval from the landlord is required before
installation as well as removal of any heavy equipment.
Heavy loads must not bear on either an independent structure or partition adjacent to any
demise wall. Tenants must seek approval from the Landlord to provide access of heavy
equipment across public areas. In situations where additional support is required and
approved by the Landlord, such provisions and their removal shall be made at the Tenant's
own cost.
PART 10
11.0 Construction
11.1 Hoardings
Hoarding in compliance with current Hong Kong Building Regulations and Codes of
Practices of the Labours Department on Site Safety shall be provided during fit-out by
Tenant. The hoarding shall include a combination key locked door. In general, Tenant may
erect a 2.4m high hoarding (or other height as may be specified by AA from time to time) to
separate the shop during renovation from the Landlord’s public area, along a line 600mm to
1m in front of the Tenant’s shutter line or unit demise line. Corners of the hoarding shall be
radiused if possible. The top of the hoarding or any gaps between hoarding and the
bulkhead above shall be closed off with white (RAL9016) canvas to prevent dust dispersion.
The hoarding shall not block or interfere with adjacent tenant’s shopfront, signage or
shutter. Hoarding layout, design, structural calculation and details shall be submitted for
the Landlord’s approval.
Hoardings shall be of all metal construction or a combination of metal frame and painted
plasterboard and shall be white in base colour on the public side. The hoarding shall be
sturdy, plumb, and aligned. Materials used for hoarding construction shall be new and
maintained in excellent condition throughout the execution of the works. Any damage
occurring to the external finishes shall be made good as it occurs.
Hoardings shall be extensively covered with Graphic film and suitable printed graphics to a
layout/composition to be agreed with the Landlord. If no graphics is proposed, the hoarding
shall be painted white (RAL9016). Where necessary for operational reasons space shall be
allowed on the hoardings for the fixing of temporary direction and other operationally
related signage by the Landlord.
Any materials or finishes damaged by the Tenant during his fit-out works shall be made
good by the Landlord’s Contractor at the Tenant’s cost.
The Tenant should notify the Landlord the proposed working hours and should keep
construction noise level to NC40 during opening hours of retail and F&B units and avoid
interference with other building occupants. Noisy operations or those that lead to significant
structure borne vibration given rise to nuisance shall be undertaken at specific times during
the night as approved by the Landlord. Tenant shall also prevent the escape of dust, smoke
PART 11
and smell (from welding, paint, adhesive or other chemicals for construction).
The Landlord provides a basic tenancy shell and services for the tenancies.
The Tenant shall be responsible for all facets of the tenancy fit-out including the design,
authority approvals and installation of the works. The fit-out shall be at the Tenants cost
and to the approval of the Landlord.
The Tenant’s design shall be subject to all relevant statutory submissions and approvals.
Where alterations to the architecture, structure and/or services of the base building are
required due to the design of the tenancy, subject to the approval of the proposed alteration
by the Landlord, the works will be designed and undertaken by the Landlord at the Tenant’s
cost.
PART 11
12.0 Advertising
The advertising locations are focused in the most prominent locations with the intention of
achieving maximum visual prominence to travelers. In order to maintain consistency within
the MFC, the Authority regulates the design and standardized the sizes of all advertising
displays. All advertising media shall be professionally designed, fabricated and installed.
Advertising proposals are subject to the Authority’s approval. The Authority reserves the
right to remove any advertising which is in conflict with, or is considered detrimental to the
operation or clarity of the directional signage system.
Besides the primary function of distributing conditioned air to the concourse area, the MFC
binnacles are designed to accomodate advertising lightboxes and LCD display screens.
The display frontage area of the is controlled by the by the modular dimension of the
binnacle cladding, which is 2.4m wide by 2.0m high (nominal). The Tenant may install
suitable lightboxes or LCD display screens with glass cover which fully covers the frontage,
and which remain flush with the surrounding binnacle cladding. The type of lightbox
envisaged by the Authority utilizes flexible vinyl media mounted using a tension system,
however the tenant shall ensure that their proposed system can be adapted to fit rigid
plastic, glass or aluminium facing. The Authority will provide fused spur power points and
single mode optical fibre data point within the binnacle opening.
There are selected sites for advertising display on various wall surfaces throughout the
MFC, which are set within the glazed or polyester powder coated metal wall cladding
panels. Most of the spaces reserved are either based on multiples of the 1.2m or 1.8m
wide modular cladding system, or standard 12-sheet size. The Tenant may install suitable
lightboxes or LCD display screens with glass cover which fully covers the frontage, and
which remain flush with the surrounding binnacle cladding. The Authority will provide fused
PART 12
spur power points and single mode optical fibre data point within the cladding opening.
The Authority will provide a series of 70” LCD display screens at the corner junctions
between the gate corridor and main corridor on L5 Arrivals Concourse. These are
integrated into the wall cladding and are splayed to face the passengers walking along the
main corridor.
The aesthetics, material and sizes of all free standing advertising displays shall be
complimentary with the Authority’s design and environmental intent for the MFC. The
proposed designs shall be durable and easy to maintain.
The display lightbox casing / structure shall be clad in aluminium or steel, with a polyester
powder coated finish in RAL 7012 (standard dark grey hue used in MFC). The lightbox
shall be sturdily supported by internal steel posts. Lightboxes may be single- or double-
sided, with hinged and lockable glass doors to protect the media and to facilitate good
access for replacement of graphics media and maintenance. For single-sided displays, the
blanking rear panel shall be in the same cladding material, finish and colour as the lightbox
casing. Tenants must ensure the design of the lightbox and spacing of light fittings provide
even lighting to the graphics media. LED luminaires shall be used, and energy efficiency
shall be considered. Sufficient ventilation shall be incorporated in the design and where
necessary shall be fan assisted for heat dissipation. The fan units shall not emit any
audible noise in the ambient environment of the concourse.
The Authority will provide steel base plates with integrated fused spur power points,
located locally within the floor finish. The Tenant shall be responsible for the design, supply
and installation of the advertising light boxes in accordance with the Authority’s guidelines.
