Layout Plan for 9/F Carpark Block and R/F Office Tower
Retrofitted initiative:
Skyline Tower upholds sustainability to incorporate sustainability in all aspects of operations with a view to creating long-term value for the community. In 2018, we installed total 382 nos of solar panel at 9/F Carpark Block (92 nos) and R/F Office Tower (290 nos) with monitoring system to embrace low-carbon lifestyles. In 2020, we transformed the rooftop garden of 9/F Carpark Block into a 11,840 sq.ft. urban farm, namely Sky Farm, which providing a platform for staff, tenants and the wider community to experience the joy and benefits of urban farming while breathing new life into the Grade A commercial building. By turning the rooftop space into flourishing garden nestled amongst busy streets and skyscrapers, it also helps combat climate change and promotion of sustainability. Sky Farm opened for the general public and provided a public green place for stealing a little leisure from the rush of business. Various workshops (urban farm tours, dyeing workshop, etc.) were hosted to get our community involved and disseminate our Green responsibilities. With the Establishment of “Sky Farm” and missions of upholding corporate social responsibility and promoting sustainability, we wished to bring green inspiration to commercial building.
Observed benefits other than energy saving:
Sky Farm with renewable energy established with a goal to make our community a better place to live and work. Aligning the Group’s sustainability vision of “Creating Better Lifescapes”, wishing we could build life together, where communities thrive in harmony and bring the community closer to nature. To ensure our business activities conducted within the wider context of our communities and the environment to create shared value for all our stakeholders, “Sky Farm” project was initiated in Year 2019. Hoping that Sky Farm can promote green life, enhance the wellness of our stakeholders, improve the wellbeing of community and foster a culture of innovation.
General observations of the retrofitting project:
To promote urban farming and work towards a greener future with our colleagues, tenant and the community, a green task force was formed and all of the staff including security guards, Customer Service Centre as well as cleaning staffs are included in the task force. All members are encouraged and welcome to raise their innovative ideas towards the Sky Farm, no matter trivial issue or substantial installation. They were invited to participate in every tiny parts of the project, and provide user-based feedback so as to make the Farm truly ready prior to the opening. Furthermore, it was understood that a majority of our employees do not have much knowledge toward urban farming, green-minded staff thus have been recruited as “Sky Farm Green Ambassadors” to spread the message to colleagues and tenants in workplaces. Shortlisted green ambassadors have joined the farming seminar taught by Smiley Planet, our farming advisor, in each Tuesday to learn green tips and farming knowledge, which raising awareness of green living and sowing the seeds for a green and caring environment for all. While Sky Farm produced radishes, staff will be participated in the harvest and having the opportunity to take home and share the harvest with their families.
The project took a holistic, long-term approach and worked in partnership with stakeholders to create better environments together. In addition to promote green living and urban farm among the busy modern life, SkyFarm also serve the purpose of being a common rest place for the public, which was rarely exist in the business community.
