Preserving the Lineage of Community Spirit
Having stood for decades, Ming Wah Dai Ha is itself a collective memory for many Hong Kong people, reminiscent of the close- knit camaraderie and strong sense of community in bygone eras when neighbours were regarded as close as next of kin as they turned to each other for help.
To carry on this tradition, the Housing Society has sought to connect the new redevelopment with its old identity through spatial design and incorporation of old building elements.
The iconic old signage bearing the estate name, as well as the long-standing exterior wall of old Ming Wah Dai Ha, were carefully preserved and incorporated as part of the portal and decoration for the podium of the new development. Other elements belonging to the old estate, such as hanging mailboxes, were recycled and artistically featured in the covered play area, blending old with the new while giving the residents a sense of déjà vu.
In addition, a garden to showcase some of the memorabilia of the original estate is being planned for Phase II Redevelopment.
