RIBA Hong Kong Chapter presents The Henderson Building Tour

Introduction:

The Henderson, a future-oriented and eco-friendly workplace, is a new architectural marvel in Hong Kong, described as "an icon amongst icons." Crafted by Zaha Hadid Architects, this structure spans 465,000 square feet across 36 levels. The tower, which emphasises harmony with nature, acts as an urban sanctuary in the Central Business District, fostering green areas and enhancing the local air quality. With its passive design and cutting-edge features, The Henderson has earned a Platinum LEED rating and perfect scores in SmartScore and China Smart Building.

Henderson Land's dedication to sustainability is evident, as they have adopted the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as a guiding framework for the building's design and execution. This tour provides exclusive access to the latest high-rise in Central, one of Hong Kong's most coveted commercial properties. The developer and architect will showcase the Smart Management and Sustainable Innovations that enabled The Henderson to win green design accolades and will discuss the challenges encountered during its design and construction. Topics will cover sustainability, innovative designs, and wellness features in future office buildings.
