The Cullinan, Twin towers in Union Square, Hong Kong
The Cullinan comprises two residential towers with 68 above-ground floors, forming part of the larger Union Square complex in central Kowloon. The development combines housing with retail and office spaces, creating a mixed-use urban environment.
The towers were designed by Wong & Ouyang and completed in 2008 as Hong Kong expanded its residential landscape with modern developments. This project was part of a broader urban transformation that reflected the city's growth as a global financial center.
The name references a legendary diamond, reflecting Hong Kong's connection to luxury and global commerce. This choice shows how the city embraces international symbols in shaping its residential landscape.
The complex sits near major transportation hubs, making it easy to move around Hong Kong and reach business districts quickly. Shopping and dining options are located within or immediately around the building, adding convenience to daily life.
Each tower features varied structural patterns across its floors, creating a distinctive outline that stands out against the skyline from multiple viewpoints around the harbor. This deliberate design choice makes the building memorable from different angles throughout the city.
