Jardine House, Office skyscraper in Central, Hong Kong
The 178-meter tall building features 1,748 circular windows across its 52 floors, creating a distinctive pattern on its metallic facade.
Opening in 1973 as the Connaught Centre, this structure marked a milestone as the first skyscraper in Hong Kong and the tallest building in Asia.
The building's round window design generated a local nickname referencing its appearance, demonstrating Hong Kong residents' characteristic humor about architecture.
The structure contains 24 elevators and connects to other buildings through the Central Elevated Walkway system, facilitating movement throughout the district.
The government established restrictions preventing construction of tall buildings to the north, preserving unobstructed views from Jardine House's windows.
