 INTRODUCTION:

• The existing Hong Kong Museum ofArt (HKMA) was built in 1991.
• Over 23 years, there was an urgent need to extend and upgrade the museum and its facilities and equipment to
address the shortage of art exhibition space and to enhance the service of HKMA.
• The most significant change is a 40 per cent increase in exhibition space,with the museum expanding to
approximately 10,000 square meters to accommodate five new galleries,bringing the total up to 12.
• Among the 11 new exhibitions is HKMoA’s first special exhibition.
 EXPANSION
• Provision of the entrance foyer on G/F,to enhance the
visitors’ experience.
• Additional gallery spaces at new-built two-storey extension
Annex Wing and 5/F expansion on the original roof floor.
• Provision of a restaurant, cafe and bookshop, to utilize the
vibrancy ofVictoria Harbour.
 RENOVATION
• Architectural interventions and features on the entire
facades of the museum to create an iconic image for
branding.
• Conversion of curved circulation staircase to a
transparent lounge area on all floors, at the EastWing
galleries.
• Refurbishment of curatorial office and 4 existing galleries.
• Existing volumes are preserved and decorated to intensify
the public image of HKMoA to the city.
• To reinterpret the cultural value of the museum collection,
new cladding’s tangible texture echoes traditional masonry
pattern.
• Aspired by the undulated seascape of theVictoria Harbour,
the facade with the multi-faceted fiber cement cladding,
animates with the interplay of light and shadow that changes
over time and weather.

 RENOVATION
Environmental devices and systems
Ventilated Façade High efficiency air-cooled chillers with variable speed drive; automatic
-The air chamber between the building and the external façade demand control of chilled water circulation system; re-provision of the
which is renewed by convection allows energy saving.This chamber PV panels, etc.
facilitated the building to maintain its warmth in winter and its
insulation in summer,thus reducing the energy cost by up to 15%. Material Used :
1.EQUITONE – Fiber Cement Board - Facade Cladding
Other considerations on façade design 2.Okalux – Laminated glass
-The majority of the existing wall tiles on the museum concrete wall 3.KME- Bronze plate cladding -TECU
was left intact to reduce C&D waste;Provisions of low-e glass and 4.W rightstyle – Fire-rated glazing system
laminated mesh are incorporated to filter direct sunlight and UV.
