In an airport complex there will be 400,000 sq.m. of the commercial areas, they will be placed over station.

The project height — 45 metres, a building is benched, opening a sort on the Hong Kong sky. The station building becomes as though an amphitheatre, where representation — the city opening on opposite river bank. Arena here — set of the pedestrian paths transformed into the blossoming garden.
