Peak Tower Hong Kong Review

Peak Tower, Terry Farrell. Hong Kong Peak. 

Designed by British architect Terry Farrell, the Hong Kong peak tower is a seven- storied high landmark building located on the Victoria gap 396 meters above sea level, offering a panoramic view over Hong Kong cityscape. The site of the building is located between two hilltops, directly exposed to the central part of Hong Kong. In order to not to destroy the view of the hills and disrupt the surrounding neighborhood, the architect decided to design a building that has a bow-like shaped top that fits into the curvature created by the two hilltops. Serving as one of the iconic building in Hong Kong, the bow-like design was inspired by the image of a Chinese bowl and the Chinese gesture for greetings, symbolizing the welcoming nature of 'the Pearl of the Orient'.
