Abstract
Mid-Levels on Hong Kong Island is an area full of history. In the days when the sea lapped at Queen's Road Central, a century ago, it was the home of the burgeoning Chinese middle class. They built their communities there: houses with a mix of colonial and Chinese architectural style; schools and hospitals. To support their local flock, missionaries also set up bases in the area, creating a space where East and West blended in perfect harmony.
Much of the old structures have since disappeared, but one project provided an opportunity to blend, this time, the old and the new.
