We are delighted to announce the HKBH East Kowloon Medical Centre officially commenced full operations in August 2025.

 

Wong & Ouyang was appointed as Lead Architect and Medical Planning Consultant for the centre in May 2019. Designed to provide hospital-grade, one-stop comprehensive ambulatory medical services to residents in the East Kowloon district, it offers a wide range of specialties services including diagnostic and treatment as well as rehabilitation services.

 

The district, which includes Kwun Tong, Tseung Kwan O, and Kai Tak, has long lacked large-scale private medical institutions, forcing residents to travel to other districts for private ambulatory services.  Located at 8 Yan Yip Street, Kwun Tong, at just a 6-minute walk from the Ngau Tau Kok MTR station, the centre is extremely convenient to access.

 

The 32-storey facility spans over 90,000 square feet, the first purpose-built private medical tower in East Kowloon, is a prominent addition to the urban context. Taking advantage of the open views, the façade design is characterized by a regular geometric off-set grid using colours that match the main hospital buildings in Kowloon Tong. The off-set grid adds scale, texture and conceals random mechanical louvres demanded by hospital functions.

 

The lower levels Introduce greenery and daylight to the interiors and enhance the street level experience.

 

The opening of the new centre represents a critical step in addressing societal healthcare needs and supporting the public healthcare system.
