8/10...It's a great looking skyscraper especially at night, but 2 IFC corrected the building's mistake by smoothening out the shape and facade.

Best feature is the 'comb'-shaped elements on the roof. Very classy.

it's my second favorite pelli building after key tower. the setbacks are the most well-proportioned of any building i've seen. i wish 2 ifc mimicked its more flat facade, which imo, has the more dominant look to it, instead of adopting a rounder version of it.

its amazing how even though it has basically the same design as 2ifc, it looks very dwarfed. The tall one looks so much more slim and slick as well as being a dominating presence.
i think if it weren't right next to the current tallest building in HK, it would look alot better.

Only reason why it looks short is because it's in HK. In most other cities, this building would stand out.

Its a great looking building. Good enough to spearhead its own office tower complex. But seeing it in frame with its big brother, it just makes it look cuter. 8.5 on its own.

This lower version is fine but its big brother on the waterfront looks like a sex toy - totally undeserving of the location it's built on.
