Citibank Plaza l HONG KONG l 206m l 51fl

[The Messiah]

Citibank Plaza
Hong Kong, China

HEIGHT: 206m/674 feet
FLOORS: 51 floors
COMPLETION: 1992
ARCHITECT: Rocco Design Ltd.

Located in the centre of Hong Kong, it is situated next to the Bank of China, one of the city's most emblematic constructions. Far from competing with it, the new building seeks differentiation. Fruit of the intersection of two towers of different heights that combine straight and curved facades, contrasting with the straight volume of the Bank of China. The towers go straight into the ground, without any base body, and the curtain wall of the facades withdraws to leave the structure bare and provoke the entrance to the building, letting it flow towards the garden and the square which accompany the building.

7.5/10...Not bad, it's something different and has a good looking cool blue glass facade. A bit strange though, which isn't in a good way.

[Monkey]

Unusual design ... looks like a giant open book or something. In a way it reminds me of the Minerva Building being planned for London.

Anyway, it has a cool glass facade but I'm not that keen on the overall shape.

the glass and the steel columns look cool, but the base has too much stuff going on. and i'm not convinced by the idea of fusing 2 different-looking buildings into one.

Really cool modern looking building, separating the individiual floors makes the appearance of the building seem taller. The front enterance looks really nice too.

This is to an extent lost in the jungle with its towering neighbours and the density but it is one of the better HK Island buildings. Reservedand cool by HK standards.

It's an 8.

it's very sleek and modern, and quite tall, but doesn't make an impact in the skyline.

[Pengui]

Not bad but not too original either, it's acting a bit like a filler amongst its more distinguished neighbours, which is kind of sad for a tower of this height.
