Frank Gehry "danced" to Hongkong.

"Everyone who lives in America like me feels depressed now. Everyone thinks it's the end of the world ... it's really good to be here. You can see optimistic people and life goes on. " Frank, 80 years old? Frank Gehry is still very busy at present. This master designer, who hasn't returned to LA for nearly a month, has now come to Hong Kong to personally show us the residential property at No.53, stubbs road, the peak of Swire Property in Hong Kong. Frank Gehry, a famous American architect, 1989 won the Pritzker Prize. This residential property, located at No.53, stubbs road, the peak of Hong Kong, is the first Asian residence in Frank Gehry and will be completed on 20 1 1. Gary called this gently twisted 12-story mansion "dancing building".

Frank Gehry is not only an excellent architect, but also famous for his high expenses and outstanding business acumen. Swire Real Estate staff are reluctant to disclose the design cost this time, but she told us that out of respect for the architect Gary, many times the design briefing sessions were carried out by Swire Real Estate people flying with him to Los Angeles. Even so,

Swire Property also thinks that this is totally worthwhile, and their investment is far more than that. The building is divided into 12 floors, each with an area of about 6,000 square feet (about 557.4 square meters). Due to the dynamic shape, the area of each household is different, but the gap is not big. According to the design fee of Stata Center designed by Frank Gehry for MIT in earlier years, which is nearly 40 dollars per square foot, this design fee will not be less than 2.8 million dollars, which is already sky-high in single-family housing projects.

At the beginning of 2007, Swire Properties and Hong Kong * * * reached a land price compensation agreement of over HK$ 800 million for this project. Based on the proposed construction area of 68,242 square feet, the extra land price per square foot was HK$ 65,438+065,438+0,800, which set a new record for the extra land price in this area at that time. So, this time, I invited Frank Gehry to work without hesitation, and Swire also tried to maximize the added value of the land. According to Guo Peng, Chief Executive Officer of Swire Real Estate, the project will be leased in 20 12 as soon as it is completed.

All luxury units will be rented out, but he did not disclose the rent range, only that the rent may hit a new high by then. Market participants pointed out that the rent of luxury houses in the East Mid-Levels was raised in the middle of the year, not to mention that Yuan enjoys the racecourse and sea view exclusively because of his superior geographical position. Design form: Like a rough jade for the first time.

At the press conference, the media felt that the design was not so "Frank Gehry".

As we all know, Frank Gehry has always been famous for its sculptural architectural design: the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, the Stata Center in MIT and the Plic Concert Hall in Chicago. All these impressive architectural works have a crazy "boiling skyline"-and this time, Frank Gehry, who is 8 1 year old, has brought us another kind of return.

When introducing his latest works, Gary called this gently twisted 12-story mansion "dancing building".

And smiled and said he wanted to stay, too. This building is located at the top of the eastern half of Hong Kong Island, and the service platform at the bottom is still a stacked cube "stone". Up to the main part, the volume of the curved glass curtain wall rises in different directions, like a petal-shaped rough jade rising from the ruins-here we only see the shadows of some masters' usual works, but we can't find exaggerated materials and lines. Frank Gehry said, "This is my first time to design residential buildings in Asia. Before the design, we not only surveyed the terrain, but also tried to learn more about Hong Kong and its culture. Finally, we chose the blooming flower shape-so that every petal, that is, every unit, can show the excellent scenery given by the base conditions to the maximum extent, so that every owner can enjoy the magnificent sea view of Victoria Harbour.
