The renovation of the swimming facilities and communal spaces at the Ladies’ Recreation Club in Hong Kong’s Mid-Levels responds to a challenging site and complex regulatory environment with a clear and cohesive architectural vision. The project reimagines key leisure amenities while preserving the character and exclusivity of the historic club setting.

A lightweight rooftop canopy is delicately introduced over the existing structure, creating a new entertainment and gathering space with elevated views across the outdoor swimming pool.

Carefully positioned and structurally restrained, the canopy enhances functionality while maintaining a sense of openness and elegance. Associated poolside and communal facilities are thoughtfully upgraded to establish a refined and contemporary atmosphere for members.

Conceived as part of a broader masterplan for the club’s long-term renewal, the project contributes to a unified design language across the precinct. Together, the interventions elevate the club’s recreational experience, balancing architectural sensitivity, regulatory constraints, and contemporary expectations for comfort, leisure, and social connection.
