海邊檔是LAAB 為香港星光大道設計的機動建筑, 作用為小食亭和機電房, 是香港第一個機動的公共建筑。港式小販街邊檔「朝桁晚拆」的特色是海邊檔設計的靈感來源。LAAB以機械重新演繹港式小販街邊檔的特色; 早上，海邊檔緩緩打開，像一只張開嘴的蚌；夜里，海邊檔合上眼睛，安靜地聽海。除了開關以外,海邊檔的木條也會上下擺動, 一吐一納，就像海浪潮起潮落，星光一閃一爍。木條背后的49枝機械裝置是海邊檔的骨骼，他們的舒展帶動了海邊檔的呼吸。

設計團隊和工程師緊密的合作, 在叁年內制造了4 個樣本 (prototype), 不斷優化海邊檔的設計。海邊檔的結構除了可以抵擋香港的臺風季節外, 也考慮到公眾安全, 在柜臺部份安裝了感應器, 有人沖撞時會自動停止開關。

Harbor Kiosk is the first kinetic public architecture in Hong Kong that innovatively combines parametric architectural design with bespoke engineering.

Located at the Avenue o

f Stars at Harborfront in Hong Kong, a promenade that celebrates the success of Hong Kong's movie industry, Harbor Kiosk's movement pays tribute to the movie industry.

To translate the moving images of cinema into the kinetic movement of architecture, the architects and engineers took inspiration from the local market stalls and designed an automatic system that transforms the “gate” of Harbor Kiosk into “awning” during the day and returns to its compact shape at night. This mechanical movement is powered by a linear motion system made of 49 connected robotic arms installed behind the timber fins. The wave generator system also moves the timber fins in waves throughout the day to resonate with the nearby harbor waves in poetic ways.

The architects and engineers developed four prototypes over three years to optimize kiosk design and movements.The structure was calculated to withstand the typhoon season in Hong Kong. A safety sensor was installed at the kiosk counter to ensure clearance during the opening and closing moments.

星光大道附近有許多形態豐富的建筑物，為了不打擾既有的風景，LAAB融合了這些建筑物的形態，并用紅巴勞木木條重新演繹，讓海邊檔和諧地成為這里的一部分。

為了讓海邊檔提供更多的公共服務，LAAB把小食檔和附近的機電房合拼起來。原本只有十平方米的狹小空間增加了，除了容納柜臺讓店家經營買賣以外，外墻還收放了自動販賣機、飲水機、資訊板和植物等公共服務。

在2019年，海邊檔入圍Architizer A+ Awards Architecture + Engineering 的最后五強。

To enhance the public function of the food kiosk, the design team combined the 100-sqft food kiosk with a 300-sqft M&E machine room nearby at the early stage of the project, gaining a 56-ft long wall space to accommodate more public functions, including a vending machine, drinking fountains, and info screens. The M&E machine room also provides different utilities (e.g. water and electricity) for the Avenue of Stars, while the kiosk in front feed the stomach of visitors in the area.

The form of Harbor Kiosk was influenced by several surrounding landmarks to create an organic form that sits harmoniously amongst its contexts. The facade features three strata of pro filed timber slats to conceal the machine room doors and accommodate different types of public functions. The timber fins were carefully finished with exterior grade oil finish for durability against UV and termites.

Harbor Kiosk offers a meaningful public space by carefully reinterpreting local culture and translating it into mechanical vernacular. By creatively combining the food kiosk with the nearby M&E room, the design of Harbor Kiosk also enhances a kiosk's public services.

In 2019, Harbour Kiosk is a finalist in the Architecture + Engineering category of Architizer A+ Awards.
