\"Glass-clad<\/div>\n

British studio Foster + Partners<\/a>‘ Central Crossing skyscrapers, which feature an “illuminated spire” that runs the full length of the taller tower, have topped out in Hong Kong<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Set to be completed in the middle of this year, the Central Crossing development comprises two towers \u2013 a taller 160-metre-high office building and a shorter 122-metre-high tower containing a hotel.<\/p>\n

A joint project by developers Wing Tai Properties and CSI Properties, the skyscrapers are located at 118 Wellington Street in Hong Kong’s central business district.<\/p>\n

\"Skyscraper
The elevated skyscrapers will have two distinctive facade designs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Both of the skyscrapers will be aesthetically divided into two halves, with “high zones” with full-height glazing.<\/p>\n

These parts of the buildings will have polished stainless-steel-framed glass facades, while the “low zones” will feature a fine-grain and textured gold-tone facade for enhanced privacy.<\/p>\n

\"Central

The tallest of the two buildings, the office tower, will feature a design detail described by Foster + Partners<\/a> as an “illuminated spire”, which will project a beam of light into the sky.<\/p>\n

At the ground-floor level, Central Crossing will incorporate four historic buildings, including a shop house at 120 Wellington Street that is one of the oldest remaining houses of its type in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n
