7/10

Nice shape, but I don't care for the top.

8/10

8/10 -
It has a really nice shiney-shiney curtain wall that can really dance with the light, and there's a certain elegance in the way it's wrapped so smoothly around the building.

There's also a certain elegance in the tower's curves, which add variety - especially with the set backs - and manage (unlike most other round buildings I've seen) NOT to look like a giant roll of paper towels.

They even devoted a bit of thought to the roof, which seems to flow well from the rest of the tower, helped by the set backs.

However...
It doesn't soar that well - the broad gray horizontal bands don't help, and broadside on it IS a bit chunky.

Wow, great futuristic design! 8.5/10. The curved shape is great, and the way the building steps up to the little half ball at the top is excellent.

the overall round feeling is good, and the setbacks are well positioned, giving this building both bulk and grace. simply amazing.

all we need is a twin to accompany it. it doesn't look as good alone...

A really beautiful, distinct, huge, 2 million square foot, and well thought out developement, I believe. It was fun watching it go up. I hope Mong Kok will see more of these. And with a high occupancy rate of the tower, a ~ 95% occupancy rate of the 15 story mall, the future will tell. 9.5.
