Jardine House
1 Connaught Place, Central, Hong Kong
1973
P & T Architects & Engineers Ltd
179m high
This building is easilt recognisable with a regular grid of circular windows,
earning it a nickname 'the building of a thousand ****holes'. Jardine
House would be more attractive without its silly angled hat, as the rectilinear
extrusion and clean grid of windows makes it quite striking. Located in
the historic centre of Hong Kong by the harbour this 50-storey skyscraper
was the tallest building in Hong Kong from 1972 to 1980. It lost the title
of Hong Kong's tallest building to the Hopewell Center.
