| Primary School and Car Park/ Commercial Complex |
| The primary school and car park/ commercial complex were constructed by traditional method due to non-standard design. |

| Reconstruction of Murray House |
| The original location of the building was Garden Road, Admiralty where Bank of China is located. It used to be a soldier barrack and later was used as a government office. It was demolished in 1982 to give way for development in Central. The external granite stone of the facade was dissembled with caution and was stored in Tai Tam as reusable materials. In recent years, the Hong Kong Government decided to reconstruct the building in Ma Hang and to use it as a commercial building (restaurant, retail and exhibition). |

In addition to the external granite stone, the building consisted of other reusable materials. The stone chimneys (8 nos.) were originated from High Street Mental Hospital. The covered walkway columns (12 nos.) were old from LDC Shanghai Street Redevelopment site. The flagpoles were transferred from old Tamar Battle Ship. Besides, the feature stone columns in promenade were old from private collection. |
