As I stepped into the elevator, I couldn’t help but feel as though I had just boarded a colossal interstellar spacecraft, ready to embark on an adventure through the cosmos — or at least to the lobby. The circular corridor, with its sleek glass design that seemed to defy the laws of physics (and perhaps a few laws of interior decorating), was nothing short of exhilarating. It felt like I was walking through a scene from a futuristic film, complete with dramatic music playing in my head.
Before I plunged into the reception area, which looked like it could very well be the bridge of a starship, I spotted an older gentleman among the staff. He had that kind of wise aura about him — like he could tell you stories about the building’s history or give you life advice that might actually make sense. So, in a moment of uncharacteristic politeness (I swear my mother would have been proud), I approached him and asked if I could snap some photos. To my delight, he nodded with a grin that suggested he was either amused by my enthusiasm or secretly plotting to join me on my photographic escapades.
With his permission granted, I felt like I had just been given a VIP pass to the universe’s most incredible gallery. The space was so breathtaking that it practically begged for some 360-degree panoramic shots. I mean, who wouldn’t want to showcase this architectural marvel to tourists across the globe? My mission was clear: capture this awe-inspiring environment and broadcast my excitement to the world via Google Maps, transforming every mundane traveler into an eager explorer.
So there I was, camera in hand, channeling my inner Ansel Adams (or at least trying not to look like an amateur tourist who just discovered their first smartphone). As I clicked away, I imagined people in far-off lands gazing at my photos, feeling that same rush of wonder that had enveloped me moments before. Perhaps they’d feel inspired to visit this magnificent place themselves — after all, who wouldn’t want to experience a setting that felt so much like stepping into a sci-fi movie?
In the end, not only did I get some stellar shots, but I also left the elevator feeling like a modern-day explorer. Who knew a simple trip to the lobby could ignite such joy? It’s funny how life surprises you when you least expect it — turning everyday moments into...
Read moreThe Henderson is one of the most beautiful buildings I’ve ever seen: Futuristic, luxury and stylish.
The Henderson, was built on the site of the former Murray Road Multi-story Car Park, which was purchased by Henderson Land Development in 2017 for HK$23.28 billion (US$3 billion), making it the world's most expensive land plot at the time. While The Henderson isn't necessarily the most expensive skyscraper in the world in terms of construction cost, its foundation on this record-breaking land makes it a project of extreme value, as described by South China Morning Post.
The building was designed by the renowned Zaha Hadid Architects, known for its flowing,...
Read moreWas invited to an event on a Saturday afternoon. The building was very nice. Everything from the lift to every detail of the building looks amazing. You can obviously see that it’s very newly built and probably one of the few iconic buildings most people can visit without needing an office in there.
Parking - surprisingly the parking is very fair and reasonable considering its parking in Central. Nearby parking probably isn’t that reasonable.
The parking surprisingly is fairly spacious compared the parking at The Landmark. Those visited the Landmark will know the parking...
