The Center Skyscraper
22-24 Gilman's Bazaar, Central, Hong Kong
Description:
This skyscraper stands out by a system of hundreds of neon lights that change color at night. During the New Year holidays, lighting is used especially actively, so the skyscraper at this time resembles a Christmas tree.
The premises of The Center are irregularly shaped because the surrounding streets have already been repurposed. The way out of this situation was found in the form of an octagon and the destruction of several historical buildings.
Many fabric stores and fittings were moved to the Western Market, as well as a traditional Chinese medicine store, so most of the building is rented for office purposes.
