DESCRIPTION
the
project
addressed the nature of banking
in Hong Kong and how it should
be expressed in built form. In
doing so it virtually reinvented the
office tower.
The requirement to build in
excess of a million square feet in
a short timescale suggested a
high degree of prefabrication,
including
factory-finished
modules, while the need to build
downwards
and
upwards
simultaneously
led
to
the
adoption
of
a
suspension
structure, with pairs of steel
masts arranged in three bays.
As a result, the building form is
articulated in a stepped profile of
three
individual
towers,
respectively twenty-nine, thirtysix and forty-four storeys high,
which create floors of varying
width and depth and allow for
garden
terraces.
The
mast
structure allowed another radical
move, pushing the service cores
to the perimeter to create deepplan floors around a ten-storey
atrium. A mirrored 'sunscoop'
reflects sunlight down through the
atrium to the floor of a public
plaza below - a sheltered space,
which at weekends has become a
lively picnic spot. From the plaza,
escalators rise up through the

CONTRUCTION
Engineering precision
Foster's solution was to design a
building the construction of which
would rely on an exceptionally
high
degree
of
off-site
prefabrication. Components were
manufactured all over the world.
The structural steel came from
Britain; the glass, aluminium
cladding and flooring from the
United
States;
the
service
modules from Japan. All these had
to fit together perfectly on site,
calling for a degree of precision in
DESIGN
The new building was designed by
the British architect Lord Norman
Foster and Civil & Structural
Engineers Ove Arup & Partners (J.
Roger
Preston
&
Partners
Characteristic
The main characteristic of HSBC
Hong Kong headquarters is its
absence of internal supporting
structure.
Feng Shui
The early British settlers in Hong
Kong had an interest in Feng Shui;
thus, most of the earliest
buildings in Hong Kong, and many
buildings constructed thereafter,
were built with the philosophies of
Feng Shui in mind. The Chinese
believe that those who have a
direct view of a body of water
whether it is a river, a sea, or an
oceanare more likely to prosper
than those who do not (water is
strongly associated with wealth in
Feng Shui). The HSBC building has
a wide open area (the Statue
Square) in front of it, with no
other buildings blocking its view
of Victoria Harbour; thus, it is
considered to have "good feng
shui."
Even though the Hong Kong
Government
is
proposing
extending the existing coastline
further out into the harbour in its
latest land reclamation project, it
will still set aside space so that no
new developments will block the
HSBC Building's view of the
harbour.
FENGSUI ANALYSIS
Walk into the HSBC headquarters
in downtown Hong Kong, and a
pair of lion statues guard the
entrance. The lobby escalators
start from the northwest corner
and penetrate the heart of the
building. An open square in front
should
consider
decorating their offices with
wooden furniture to balance the
water with earth elements, Ms.
Lander said.
INTERIOR
Lion Statues
When HSBC decided to build its
third Headquarters at 1 Queen's
Road Central, opened in 1935, it
commissioned two bronze lions
from
Shanghai-based
British
sculptor W W Wagstaff (d 1977,
aged 82). This commission was
inspired by two earlier lions that
had
been
ordered
for
the
new Shanghai office opened in
1923. Cast by J W Singer & Sons
in the English town of Frome, to a
design by Henry Poole RA, these
lions had quickly become part of
the Shanghai scene, and passersby would affectionately stroke the
lions in the belief that power and
money would rub off on them.
They became known as Stephen
and Stitt: an in-joke. Stephen was
named for A G Stephen, formerly
Manager Shanghai, and in 1923
the Chief Manager of HSBC, and G
H Stitt, the then Manager
Shanghai. Stephen is depicted
roaring, Stitt quiescent, and again
insiders said that this represented
the characters of these two
famous bankers.
Wagstaff worked with "Shanghai
Arts and Crafts" foreman Chou Yin
Hsiang who in an interview with
John Loch of HSBC's house
magazine "Group News" in June
1977 [10] recalled that when he
first joined Arts and Crafts he
worked with Wagstaff for two
years to make the lions, without

Board developed
a
harbour
lighting plan called "A Symphony
of
Lights",[12] a
large-scale
multimedia
show
featuring

Units
HSBC has always aimed to adopt
a new lighting scheme because
Foster did not pay much attention
to the illumination of the building
at nighttime.

complement and integrate well
with the architecture and the
surroundings environment. While

was
