Kwong Yuen Estate (Chinese: 廣源邨) is a public housing estate in Siu Lek Yuen, Sha Tin, Hong Kong. The whole site of Kwong Yuen Estate, Kwong Lam Court and Hong Lam Court are about 12.5 hectares; 9.53 hectares of the site are sloping platforms. [1]

[edit] The Commercial Centre

The design of the Commercial Center Complex of the Public Housing Estate was designed to merge into the village environment in the vicinity. Unlike the commercial centers of other public housing estates, the Complex consists of five two-level blocks which are standing on two platforms. The Complex slopes from the east to the west a difference of 15m. [1]

The 26m clock tower of the Complex is to reinforce the image of the Commercial Center. [1]

[edit] Award

In 1992, the design of the commercial center had won a 'Meritorious Award' in the annual design competition which was organized by Institute of Hong Kong Architects. [1]
