Award win for Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities – Passenger Clearance Building

Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and Hong Kong Port Passenger Clearance Building, Hong Kong wins a The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design International Architecture Award 2020 in the Airports and Transportation Centers category.

Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners in Joint Venture with Aedas Passenger Clearance Building is built on a new 150-hectare artificial island reclaimed from the open waters to the north-east of Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA). It is the new crossing point over the boundary between Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao and the facilities will serve as a gateway for all those passing through it.

Careful thought has been put into how users will move around the site. The simple, clear circulation through the facility and the undulating flow of surrounding waters is reinforced by the waveform roof, enhancing legibility and providing intuitive wayfinding.

The movement through the building is punctuated with full height canyons allowing natural daylight to penetrate all levels of the building and ensuring there is a visual connection to the linear roof form to further reinforce clarity of wayfinding.
