The Hong Kong Tennis & Golf Academy (HKGTA) is a Golf & Tennis Academy Ancillary Overnight Accommodation located in Pak Kong, Sai Kung with site area of 76,200 m². There are six ancillary overnight accommodation comprising six numbers of 3-storey Overnight Accommodations Blocks, a Golf & tennis academy comprising a 2-storey Sports Complex and a 3-storey Driving Range.

HKGTA is the first sports academy in the world that offers both the Jack Nicklaus Academy of Golf and Bruguera Tennis Academy under one roof, and the first Bruguera Tennis Academy outside Barcelona, Spain. HKGTA also aims to offer a holistic approach to wellness, beyond just golf and tennis training, to balance both physical and mental well-being.

Green Features

Site Aspects

Enhanced green landscaping design with 33% green coverage of the total site area.
Optimised architectural design to blend in the existing environment and preserve and enhance the surrounding air and wind environment.
Minimized heat island effect by reducing the heat absorbed from the building façade with applying high solar reflective roofing materials.
Implementation of green construction to particularly reduce on-site construction waste, dust, noise and site effluent.

Materials Aspects

Deliberate selection of building equipment and material that can reduce environmental pollution to the community and minimize both regional and global impacts on materials exploitation and ozone layer depletion.
Separate storage for metal, plastic, paper, cardboard and glass bottles to facilitate downstream resources recovery and recycling.

Energy Use

Use of high performance building services system contributes to >29% of reduction in annual energy consumption, hence reduce >2,000 tonne of CO2 emission.
Use of energy efficient electrical appliances to reduce the energy consumption in this facility.

Water Use

Water efficient devices are adopted to achieve >45% of annual potable water saving and >40% reduction in effluent discharge volume.
Installed efficient water appliances (washing machines) which reduce >45% water consumption.

Indoor Environmental Quality

The building services systems are designed to ensure the indoor environment, including IAQ, thermal comfort, acoustics performance, etc. meet the acceptable standards.
Acoustic measures were adopted to minimise acoustic nuisance to the building occupants and the neighbourhood.

Innovations and Additions

Powerful Chipper Shredder to “make use of the disused from disposal to regeneration” which significantly reduced the biodegradable waste for disposal to landfills, hence reduced CO2 emissions.
Food Waste Decomposition System to minimise the waste from this project, hence reduce the loading of the landfills.
Twin Tank to minimise the influence of water supply to occupants during maintenance.
