Upon arrival at Chek Lap Kok Island, travelers discover soothing gardens and green spaces carefully designed to offer a sense of serenity in the heart of one of the world’s busiest airports. Each area has been designed to harmonize functionality, visual comfort and safety, while taking into account the unique logistical constraints associated with this industrial-scale site.

Project
context
Chek Lap Kok, a green haven in the heart of a global airport
Chek Lap Kok International Airport, located on the eponymous artificial island to the west of Hong Kong, is a unique technical and logistical feat. Inaugurated in 1998 to replace the old Kai Tak airport, it welcomes millions of passengers every year and handles the world’s largest freight traffic. The entire site rests on an island that has been completely levelled and polderized, built from fill and accessible only by ferry, which imposed exceptional site conditions.
The landscaping project was designed to transform this artificial terrain into a pleasant, soothing environment. The plantings were selected taking into account the island’s specific constraints, intense sunshine, sea winds and complex logistics requiring the coordination of numerous international companies.
With this project, Gregori International has helped to create a sustainable and functional green environment, offering travelers a harmonious transition between the airport’s exterior and interior.
Launched by King Mohammed VI as part of his sustainable development initiatives, this city stands out for its commitment to sustainability and quality of life, with water management, renewable energy and soft mobility systems integrated right from the design stage.
Thanks to these developments, Gregori International has contributed to the pre-greening and enhancement of green spaces, helping to create a harmonious, sustainable environment for the city’s future residents and users.
