Central Plaza, Wan Chai 灣仔中環廣場

Central Plaza located in Wan Chai north business district. The architect, Dennis Lau, confronted the problem of how to secure the best harbour views. He settled for a triangular layout, offering optimal 'view corridors' between adjacent buildings, and blunted the sharp edges to appease any neighbours concerned with inauspicious feng-shui implications of 'dagger blades'. Instead of abruptly terminating the building at its crest, Lau drew the three corners into a stepped pyramid, housing a superb entertainment penthouse for its developers and crowned by a slender spire that ripples with light to clock the hours.
