觀龍樓
Kwun Lung Lau

 

觀龍樓顧名思意解作「觀龍的樓宇」,同為其樓宇布局正像臥龍一樣。電梯大堂牆上鑲嵌的一條可愛盤龍馬賽克是由建築師邁克爾·佩恩先生的妻子設計。觀龍樓於1967年建成,是香港房屋協會最早開發的公共房屋項目之一。其第一期重建和第二期的復修分別於2008年和2011年完成。

 
 

Kwun Lung Lau literally means “Watching Dragon Building” as the block layout resembles a couching dragon.  The lovely dragon mosaic at the lift lobby was designed by the wife of its architect, Mr Michael Payne.  Built in 1967, it is one of the first public housing developments developed by the Hong Kong Housing Society (HKHS).  Its Phase 1 redevelopment and Phase 2 rehabilitation were completed in 2008 and 2011 respectively.
