53 Stubbs Road

As mentioned here before, the Frank Gehry debut exhibition in Hong Kong has been on my to-go list. I finally had the pleasure to drop by during lunch today!

Apart from admiring his previous designs such as the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao (Spain) and the Novartis Campus Gehry Building in Basel (Switzerland), the highlight of my trip was definitely his first residential building in Hong Kong, namely Opus Hong Kong.

The building, residing at 53 Stubbs Road, consists of 12 apartments only. As each apartment occupies the entire floor (except for the top 2 double-level garden apartments), they are all equipped with a magnificent panoramic view of the Victoria Harbour. Not to mention the floor-to-ceiling windows used in order to maximize the mesmerizing pleasure for the eyes.

I am definitely in love with these apartments. I can see so many great things you can do with the interior too. Large walls to be filled with frames, rusty decor for a little age to the modernness, softly dimmed candles everywhere and massive bookshelves. Yes, definitely a massive bookshelf. For more amp, one could even have a mini bar table set up by the kitchen to balance out the geeky-ness from all the literature!

From an article that I've read before, Opus Hong Kong would most likely become the most expensive apartment in the city. I sure would like to know how much would one of these apartments costs!
