The site of Kimberly Road Commerce Tower is the bustling commercial district Tsim Sha Tsui in southern Kowloon, Hong Kong. The client wished to develop a twenty-eight floor commercial tower with a focus on restaurants and bars at the podium levels and shops on the upper storeys. AXIA’s design is envisioned as a series of dramatic glass shards, gently tilted to create an eye-catching, evocative presence. In addition to aesthetics, this unique form serves the dual purpose of meeting the city’s requirement for a series of setbacks as the tower rises, in order to maximize sunlight upon the streetscape and fulfill environmental codes.
