With a globally-rare unique roof with parabolic concrete trusses, State Theatre Building (皇都大廈) is a Grade 1 historical commercial-residential building and theatre in Fortress Hill, highly praised by architectural conservation groups as a leading example of Modern Movement in architecture.
Part of my childhood was spent in the building.
To name something that's hard to forget:
1. Running races with neighbour kids on the long corridor
2. Crouching outside neighbours' home to watch TV
3. Being trapped in the lift numerous times
4. Watching on the news about the theatre's huge fire, right in the building
New World Development has been buying out properties within the site, and has bought the building after applying for a compulsory sale order against existing tenants in 2019.
Under Hong Kong law, the building's current heritage status does not protect it from being demolished or converted to other use. As more and more tenants and shop owners move out in 2020, the end of the theatre's legendary life seems inevitable.

properties of concrete 在 Travel with Winny 一起跟昀去旅行 Facebook 的最佳解答
【澳洲生活】其實當我們在中美洲旅行時,York 其中一棟投資房的水管被樹根破壞掉😨 現代的水管都是塑膠,但五十幾年的老房子都是陶瓷水管,因此有縫隙讓樹根有機可趁😖 由於房子整個散發出惡臭,必須趕緊處理! 但沒想到水管工挖到以廢棄的化糞池,必須移除,因此明明才三十萬澳幣的房子卻花了AUD$8000+ 澳幣修復水管... 這個投資房目前完全是虧錢...😥
由於修復水管破壞了磁磚,如果重新舖磁磚的話要 AUD$6000,而水泥則是AUD$1900😱 於是 York 決定回去澳洲時自己弄。 因此在旅行最後一個禮拜,他根本心不在焉,每天都在看如果弄水泥的影片,那裡買材料,多少錢等💰 記得剛認識 York 時他是一個什麼都付錢叫人修理的少爺,看到他現在會自己 DIY 真的覺得我的男人長大了😭
所以一回到澳洲,York 就一個人去買 300KG 的水泥,訂了 2000KG 的砂石,租台水泥攪拌器👀 當天還因為怕我會笨手笨腳的所以叫我待在家😅 從早上八點離開,一個人奮鬥到下午三點,直到他朋友下班後過來幫他攪水泥😆
而且房客整天不在家,天黑以後根本沒有燈可以照明😖 兩個男生只能用手機的手電筒直到工作結束為止🔦 我隔天去的時候真的很驚訝做的還不錯! 等到下次要找房客的時候再把水泥跟磚漆成同個顏色,應該會比較好租😆 不過 York 身體整個攤掉,說這錢真的不好賺啊 😂 #澳洲投資房 #DIY #澳洲藍領很好賺
So while we were away on our trip, roots got into the old ceramic pipes in one of our investment properties 🙄 Everything had to be re-done and it was unfortunate that the plumber ran into a septic tank as well😑
Overall the job costed York AUD$8K to fix it... AUD$1.9K was then quoted to re-concrete the paving, tiling was quoted AUD$6K😱
So during the last week of our trip, York was just reading up on how to do concreting 😅 YouTube, articles, forums, everything he could get his hands on🙌
As soon as we got back to Adelaide, he bought 2000KG of sands and 300KG of cement, as well as hiring a concrete mixer👀 Luckily Reece was able to come in the afternoon to help him out with mixing, I just stayed at home cz York said I would be useless 😅
The boys only finished after 7pm and the tenants weren't home, so they had to use their phones as flashlights to complete the work🔦 I went the next day to help York scrub some concretes off the tiles as well as removing the plastics he used to cover the pipes😌 Very proud of his work, if we were to get new tenants, we prob will just paint the tiles as well as concretes 😂 #DIY #builderinmaking #concrete
