呂元祥建築師事務所 (RLP) 為職業訓練局轄下的香港高等科技教育學院（THEi）興建的新校舍位於香港柴灣區，預計於2016年竣工。設計摒棄香港常見的蛋糕形建築，改以採用獨特的雙塔式設計，將以環保和社區為本為大前提。

THEi校舍旨在促進思想的交流，不僅局限在校園內，還包括從自然環境和社區中學習。它不論外觀、建築材料和室內設計，俱結合綠化和現代化，成功為學生創造舒適寬敞的學習環境。

設計考慮朝向，使夏季的自然風能夠進入校舍，也令公共與校園內的綠化空間相互結合，綠化空間得以垂直向上延伸，形成「摩天綠化」。向海的一方開揚通風，和周邊鄰里、海灣以及連綿山脈毫無阻隔，互相連系；而面向架空鐵路的一方仿如屏障，讓學生遠離噪音滋擾。

校舍低層的樓層設有公共設施，高層則是學校專用的空間，設計也因應用途而不盡相同：公用空間的弧型流線觀賞心悅目，與採用了簡潔直線條的塔樓形成有趣的建築搭配。摩天綠化從校舍廣場一直延伸到塔樓屋頂，既強調了核心空間的人性化，又統一了各部分的建築構成元素。

項目的總綠化覆蓋率達百分之四十，兩個塔樓通過綠意盎然的人性化公共空間聯結在一起。這些空間享有良好的自然採光和通風度，能提升整個校舍和周邊鄰里的宜居性。另外，THEi 校舍加入大量可持續發展元素，包括南北朝向、遮陽裝置、綠化外立面；獨特的窗戶設計能達到減低噪音、加強自然通風的效果; 而逾半建築和工程採用模組設計，減省建造時間和物料應用。整幢建築每年節省用水超過百分之三十。校園內種植超過 120 棵樹和 33,000 棵灌木，大部份是本地物種，大大提高生物多樣性，生態環境亦得以改善。

項目獲得2014年新興市場全球城市景觀建築大獎以及環保建築大獎，並已成功取得香港綠建環評暫定鉑金級認證。

Ronald Lu & Partners (RLP) worked with the Vocational Training Council to create a new campus in Chai Wan for the Technological and Higher Education Institute (THEi). Targeted for completion in 2016, the THEi campus design focuses on the integration between the school community and the neighbourhood.

Instead of adopting a traditional building form, the community-oriented, sustainable campus used creative twin tower design which is rarely seen in Hong Kong schools. Its design opens the campus to an adjacent public park and the prevailing summer wind, embracing the outdoor public green space and extending it vertically through sky-rise greening via various terraces and “pocket spaces” located on multiple levels.

The lower floors of the campus are home to shared campus and neighbourhood amenities, while the upper floors of the tower blocks are used exclusively by the institute. The architectural built forms reflect these distinct uses – the shared facilities have a benign organic form, while a simple rectilinear form was chosen for the tower blocks. Organic sky-rise greening extending from the campus plaza to the tops of the tower blocks emphasises the human scale in the central space between the blocks, unifying the architectural composition.

Visual links between the neighbourhood and the harbour and mountain backdrops are preserved, and a greenery coverage of over 40 percent is achieved, adding humane, soft touches to the spaces between the blocks. Green sustainable design features include a north-south building orientation, high building permeability, external shading and light shelves and a bioclimatic façade. The institute will improve the biodiversity of the neighbourhood, thanks to the introduction of over 30,000 trees. These spaces also enjoy high permeability of light and air and preserve sightlines, enhancing the liveability of the campus and improving the environment of neighbourhood.

The project has won the Green Building Award and Cityscape Awards for Emerging Markets 2014 and attained a BEAM Plus Provisional Platinum Rating.
