6/10...The building's weird and funny looking with the circular, round windows! It makes it hard to take the building seriously because of the windows. Nice, simple square windows would have been much better. Other than that, it's a nice rare white box with a top that tries to not be flat but fails.

9/10. Classic.

8/10

I liked this box.

Need to understand, Jardine House was build in the late 60's, this building was like Si-Fi back in those time, how many 60's building you can find have style and still don't look too old today? 10/10 timeless. :cool:

It looks quite bright at night, any one got it's photo at nite?

7.5/10

This building made quite an impression on me when I went to HK.

My dad went to HK in the 80's and has a pic of it, so I've grown to like it.

I love the cladding
8/10

Very boxy,ygly and simple, but very nice and strange looking facade actually... 6.5/10

The facade is so cool. 7.5/10 :)

:? :? :? :? square windows better? with square windows this building would be boring, just more another box. The round windows make the difference!

very nice, good windows, 9

This building is futuristic even today. The round windows are attractive and its sleek metallic shine (not white in colour) merit a 10 from me.

a very well-designed building. clean and elegant. built in the early 70's and yet still looks far better than most highrises recently built or being built in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Chongqing.

A modern historical landmark

Reminds me a film with the same view from... 5th element? Round windows are amazing with such a round window-sill inside :)
