Overview of Domestic Blocks

Yan Tin Estate is situated near Tsing Lun Road at Tuen Mun Area 54, comprising five domestic blocks ranging from 33 to 38 storeys.

Village fabric and pastoral greening were part of the main design theme of Yan Tin Estate to complement the surrounding environment. In site planning, a pedestrian street connecting the main pedestrian entrance running from the east to the west serves as the major connection through the neighourhood spaces, while vibrance of street activities were enhanced with the provision of street shops, restaurants, kindergarten, lawn and sitting areas.

Besides, landscaped open spaces, various kinds of play equipment and ball courts, and social welfare facilities, shopping centre, a wet market and carpark are provided for daily necessities and services of the residents

Green Features

Site Aspects

Approximately 31.2% greenery is provided which positively contribute to the overall ecological value of the site
Pervious materials for approximately 54.9% of hard landscaped areas to manage stormwater
Air Ventilation Assessment and computational fluid dynamics simulation are conducted for improvement on air ventilation
Roof materials meeting SRI 78 covering approximately 73% of the total roof area to minimize the contribution to heat island effects

Materials Aspects

Modular and standardized components in building with approximately 27% prefabricated building elements including facades, staircases, slabs and partition walls
100% of timber and composite timber products are from sustainable source
Approximately 55.5% construction materials were manufactured within 800km from the site

Energy Use

Passive design of the building to save energy as compared to the Building Energy Code
Overall OTTV for this portion of the development is 17.1W/m2 approximately
Development of renewable energy for public facilities by installation of photovoltaic system
Over 47% of electricity saving by adopting energy efficient lighting

Water Use

Water efficient devices adopted to achieve 21.2% approximately of annual water saving and 39.8% approximately reduction in effluent discharge volumes
With the adoption of grey water treatment system, approximately 99.5% of the freshwater needed for irrigation is saved.

Indoor Environmental Quality

Provisions for hygiene and amenity features for enhanced quality and functionality of the development
Acoustics is adequately considered in the design and construction stages for residents’ well-being
Optimizing natural lighting and ventilation to residential flat units through simulation studies

Innovations and Additions

Two-level lighting control to conserve energy
Twin Tank are provided for both potable water tanks and flushing water tanks
Installation of Multi-sensory Map which is further enhanced from Barrier Free Access
