Wing Cheong Estate
Public housing estate in Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong
(2016)
Wing Cheong Estate (Chinese: 榮昌邨) is a public housing estate in Sham Shui Po, Kowloon, Hong Kong. It composes two Y-shaped residential blocks completed in 2013, between Fu Cheong Estate and the West Kowloon Corridor, on Sai Chuen Road. It provides about 1500 public rental flats. The main contractor for the estate's construction was Paul Y. Engineering.[3]
To mitigate the noise nuisance of the adjacent West Kowloon Corridor, the flats facing this motorway are equipped with "acoustic balconies". The balcony parapet incorporates an inclined glass panel to deflect noise, and the walls and ceiling of the balconies are faced with sound-absorbing panels.[4]
