Programme Highlights:

 

Located in the heart of Central, the 27-storey Murray Building is one of the historic landmarks of Hong Kong. The building was built in 1960’s and was regarded as pioneer of sustainable architecture. The building has won numerous awards for its groundbreaking and energy-efficient design.  Instead of tearing down the building for re-development, the developer revitalized the building as a 5-star hotel after 45-month of alternative and addition work.

 

The new 5-star hotel has come into operation in early 2018.  All signature features of the building, including the facade, the imposing 3-storey arches, the car ramp and distinctive recessed windows, have been preserved during the revitalization.

 

The hotel is the first customer obtaining 22-kV supply directly from the power utilities and a number of energy wise actions have also been adopted during the building revitalization. 

 

The visit will introduce the project background as well as the difficulties faced during the conservation.  Also, the electrical and M&E design of the Hotel will be briefed to let the participants to understand the innovative technologies and sustainable design concept of the project.  A house tour will also be arranged to visit the new outdoor spaces to experience the result of revitalization.
