Two Taikoo Place has been completed. Designed by NBBJ Design with Wong & Ouyang (HK) Ltd, this new highrise completes the major expansion of Taikoo Place. Taikoo Place is developed by Swire Properties and forms the home of many international companies.

CLP's new headquarter in Kai Tak has opened.
The striking shape of this new headquarter tower is making a standout appearance in the newly redeveloped Kai Tak area. Sitting adjacent the new Kai Tak Stadium, the main volume of the new CLP HQ is lifted up to create a semi-public outdoor area for CLP staff.
Inside, the different floors are connected with healthy staircases to gently force staff to use staircases (and therefore more healthy) instead of the lifts to move between floors.

Striking buildings under construction in the Greater Bay Area
Fascinating scenes of buildings under construction in Shenzhen / Guangzhou.
Always good to see how projects get build. What is perhaps even more fascinating that increasingly projects top out before the first facade panels gets put on.
Is it a wrong observations that 10 years ago this wasn't so?

Kai Tak Mall, the mall that is more than a mall.
Adjacent the Kai Tak Stadium, is the Kai Tak Mall. While name a mall, this building is more than a mall as it features a variety of sporting functions along the traditional mall operations. It also forms the gateway to the Kai Tak Stadium from the MTR station(s).
To make this passageway smooth and weatherproof, a large ETF canopy was erected in between the 2 buildings.

The stacked blocks of Bao'an Culture Center are nearly completed
Coldefy’s designed Bao’an Culture Center appear like stacked blocked, slight offset from each other to create a giant arc. The facade features a sort of translucent marble like material, with a nice texture that goes across the whole building. It is easily visible from afar as it is located at the intersection of different roads and the Bao’an Park.
Looking forward to see that one completed

MAD Architects nears completion of Shenzhen Bay Culture Park
On a cloudy day, I ventured out to Shenzhen Bay to capture the impressive construction site of the Shenzhen Bay Culture Park, the project by MAD Architects. Under construction for a couple of years now, it will eventually form a focal point in the overall planning of Shenzhen. Designed with stone-stone like shapes, the entire park will be green and feel like a park with several (humongous) stones poking out. I am very much looking forward to step inside this landmark project. Few places in the world where something like this could be accomplished on this scale.
