With outstanding architects and meticulous project details, every possible need of the young professional has been comprehensively taken care of

As young professionals prioritise wellness nowadays, TOWNPLACE WEST KOWLOON strives to create a comfortable and carefree living space for its residents by attending to the finest details. To enhance air circulation and ensure the rooms are no longer dependent on air conditioning so residents can enjoy fresh air, the windows of the rooms can be opened whenever necessary. The common areas of the development are also equipped with a smart air-conditioning system. This carefully regulates the indoor air quality, creating a healthy living environment. In addition, particular units feature spacious balconies allowing for better circulation. Residents can absorb the splendor of nature from within their home, while enjoying fresh air and a healthy lifestyle. The design takes advantage of the project's sea frontage and the extraordinary floor-to-ceiling height to enhance the brightness of the units, and to create a modern, spacious and creative lifestyle.

Jointly designed by two renowned architectural firms

To provide an optimal living environment and the most suitable range of options for young professionals, the layouts at TOWNPLACE WEST KOWLOON have been meticulously designed by a professional architect team.
