7.5/10

I like the blue colour, but the big sign at the top is ugly.

This building is an insult to its surroundings. The least thing one can do to improve it, is to remove the lettering.

I kinda like it- fits the block well. Do not care for the elongated bubble running down the side but oddly doesn't reach either the top or base. Nice color and facade.

Looks like a futuristic version of the Flat Iron building. I like the shiny blue colour.

I don't really have a problem with the sign on top.

Another great building in HK. Has a bunch of personality and it's own little impact on the skyline. I give it a 9/10.

VAN-TO · March 20th, 2005, 04:00 AM

Fits well with the area. 5.5/10
