⛺️華明邨商場是由兩座商業建築所組成,兩者由天橋連接。建築師的設計意念是想將屋邨內的公共空間和商業建築群打造成傳統的中國庭院。 不單利用了退台式的磚瓦屋頂達至每層建築輪廓的偏移,而其邊界也運用了大量綠化裝飾,兩棟建築之間的動態輪廓構成了很有趣的對稱開放空間。 建築師刻意將四座樓梯塔從兩層的商業建築向上延伸,便能吸引到訪者視覺上的注意力,而忘記頭上充滿壓迫感的屋苑大廈。
「民坊」更因應這設計風格翻新了商場裡的街市,以中式宮殿設計呼應室外的園林景色。這個商場的成功之處在於經過三十年後的今天仍然能保留其獨特魅力,更主導了管理公司的翻新設計方式,而不是被翻新成單一化的商場設計。

Wah Ming Shopping Centre consists of two commercial blocks linked by a foot bridge. The core idea is to transform the complex into a traditional Chinese courtyard. The retreating tiled roofs, offsetting from the block boundary with greenery input, creates dynamic contours of the open space in between. Four staircases tower with tiled roofs intentionally extend from the complex. They draw the attention from visitor and away from the compressive housing blocks.
“ People’s Place “ renovated the market according to the original shopping centre design. The new Chinese palace design echos with the sense of Chinese courtyard. The success of this shopping centre is that it still retains its unique charm after 30 years, and it is capable to dominate the management company's refurbishment design instead of being refurbished into a homogeneous shopping centre design.
