With fewer roads and infrastructure on or above the surface, the Causeway Bay waterfront comes alive with a variety of destinations and links to Victoria Park.

The working basin west of the Yacht Club (Kellett Basin) is converted into a restaurant and dining quay, using the existing shoreline formation to provide a promenade for single-storey pavilions.

A continuous promenade for pedestrians is provided from the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, across a new pedestrian bridge over the Cross Harbour Tunnel entrance, to a new park at the southwest corner of the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter.

With minimal reclamation over the slip roads to the Central-Wanchai Bypass, this corner park hosts a plaza that celebrates the Noonday Gun, and provides a suitable harbour-side entry to a future underground rail station. The Police Officers Club at this junction would need to be modified for the proposed bypass alignment.

A gradual slope leads to a raised, landscaped platform above the roadways, offering unparalleled views into the park and out into the Harbour. At the top are pavilions for public performances, visually linked to the boardwalk below that together form a green amphitheatre facing the Harbour.

At the southeast corner of the Typhoon Shelter, limited reclamation is necessary above the local connection roads that replace the existing flyover link to the Island Eastern Corridor. Instead of a hard edge this proposal introduces a gradual “urban” beach to enable people to connect with the water.
