Revitalisation
Even prior to its renovation works, the Kai Yip Recreation Centre had always embodied what the neighbourhood reminiscence about the “good old days”. This was why People’s Place sought to preserve the centre’s original spirit in its renovation process. We strived to transform the centre into a space that both encapsulated the distinctly local Hong Kong vibe and fostered a sense of belonging between neighbours, thus maintaining the communal spirit that had made it special in the first place.
People’s Place, Red Bull and art firm SWL joined hands to collaborate for the first time on the revitalization of of H.A.N.D.S basketball court managed by People’s Place in Tuen Mun. With an aim to inject positive energy into the community and advocate a healthy lifestyle of regular exercise through incorporation of vibrant public art into public estate community, the project was recently completed and reopened to the public in November 2019.
