Lei King Wan Sitting-out Area

鯉景灣原為愛秩序灣西岸一部分，於1970年代末至80年代分階段填海，並由太古地產奪得此地以發展大型私人住宅項目。鯉景灣休憩處被第四期住宅半包圍，隨著項目於1989年落成而啟用，場地佔地面積逾4600平方米，為周邊居民提供大型休憩用地。大十字形的走道將場地分割為四份，設置數個出入口連通四周住宅和街道，並由開放的集散廣場、圍合的兒童遊樂區、棱角分明的種植池和筆直有序的樹列填充，展現簡約務實的線條美學。沿著休憩處中軸佈置了豐富的景觀——鋪滿橙黃色紙皮石的疊級瀑布為休憩處注入熱情的色彩和絲絲的涼意；兩個現代主義的窩夫格紋天花方亭和三角亭盤踞場地正中和東北角，低矮、通透而不顯笨重，既表達了立體空間和軸線的強烈聯繫，也為休憩處開拓一處納涼的場所。

Originally part of the western Aldrich Bay, Lei King Wan was reclaimed in phases from the late 1970s to the 1980s and acquired by Swire Properties for a large private residential development. The Lei King Wan Sitting-out Area, semi-enclosed by the Phase 4 residential area, was opened in 1989 with a site covering 4,600 square metres to provide a large open space for the surrounding residents. A large cross-shaped walkway divides the site into four parts, with several entrances and exits to the surrounding estate buildings and streets. Four parts are filled by an open piazza, an enclosed children’s play area, planting beds and tree lines—a display of simple geometric aesthetics. Diverse landscape elements are arranged along the central axis of the sitting-out area. These include a cascading waterfall tiled with orange-coloured tesserae near the entrance, two modernist waffle ceiling square pavilions and a triangular pavilion located in the centre and north-east corner of the site. These structures enhance a strong spatial and axial relationship, and create places in the sitting-out area to relax and cool off.
