Marina Habitat, Sandwich Class Housing Scheme estate in Ap Lei Chau, Hong Kong

Marina Habitat is a Sandwich Class Housing Scheme court by the Hong Kong Housing Society on reclaimed land off Ap Lei Chau Main Street, on the Ap Lei Chau waterfront near Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter. It consists of three residential towers, 41 to 43 storeys high, on a three-storey podium. The design by Chou Yu Shek Architects takes the ocean and sailing ships as its theme, with marine colours on the facades.

Marina Habitat was built by the Yau Lee Group, with construction starting in December 1995 on reclaimed land outside Ap Lei Chau Main Street, beside the Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter. The Sandwich Class Housing Scheme court, developed by the Hong Kong Housing Society, welcomed its first residents in 1998. Its three towers of 41 to 43 storeys hold 992 flats of about 559 to 803 square feet.

The name Marina Habitat pairs an English marina with the estate's Chinese name, 悅海華庭, and the design by Chou Yu Shek Architects takes the ocean and ocean-going sailing ships as its theme. Facades carry marine colours chosen to echo the fishing-port character of Ap Lei Chau and the nearby Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter.

Marina Habitat stands on reclaimed land off Ap Lei Chau Main Street, on the waterfront facing Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter. The three towers share a 3-storey podium, so the residential floors begin above the car park and retail levels. Access is from Ap Lei Chau Main Street; the Lei Tung MTR station and the typhoon shelter waterfront are both within walking distance.

The three towers rise from a three-storey podium built on reclaimed land outside Ap Lei Chau Main Street, on the waterfront facing the Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter. The design by Chou Yu Shek Architects took the ocean as its concept, drawing on the form of ocean-going sailing ships, with facades in sea colours that echo the fishing harbours of the Southern District. Construction of the towers and car park by Yau Lee Group began in December 1995.
