Twin Tower

Twin Tower (Chinese: 雙塔型) is a 1970s Hong Kong public housing residential block design.

[1] The units in Twin Tower blocks are self-contained flats, each with a kitchen, toilet, and balcony.

[2] The first Twin Tower blocks appeared at Wah Fu Estate.

[3] Reportedly, the square shape of the twin tower design provided the structural stability necessary to build more floors than the earlier, narrower slab blocks.

[4] The Twin Tower blocks at Wah Fu make use of load-bearing partition walls which make construction faster through standardisation, obviate the need for interior columns within flats, and improve structural wind resistance.
