Opus Hong Kong, Postmodern residential building at Stubbs Road, Hong Kong.
Opus Hong Kong is a twelve-story residential building on Stubbs Road featuring curved glass facades and asymmetrical forms that create a flowing appearance. The structure combines smooth, curving surfaces with modern materials and defines the architectural character of the neighborhood.
Renowned architect Frank Gehry designed this building, which was completed in 2012 and introduced a new style to Hong Kong's residential architecture. Its completion marked a turning point that brought international design principles into the local building landscape.
Locals and visitors notice this building because of its unusual curved shape, which stands out noticeably from Hong Kong's typical rectangular towers. The flowing forms have become a landmark that shows how contemporary architecture can reshape how people see the urban environment.
You can view the building from outside on Stubbs Road where it is easy to spot, and the area has good transport connections to other parts of Hong Kong. The best time to photograph it is in the late afternoon when sunlight highlights the curved glass surfaces particularly well.
Each residential floor rotates slightly around a central core, so that residents in their apartments experience shifting views of Victoria Harbour and the surrounding mountains depending on the time of day and light angle. This rotating structure is remarkable among Hong Kong's apartment buildings and shows how the design reshapes the relationship between inhabitants and their surroundings.

Frank Gehry designs buildings with curved metal facades, irregular forms and experimental construction methods. His work defines urban spaces from Bilbao to Los Angeles. The exterior surfaces use titanium, steel or glass formed into wave-like or folded volumes. The interior spaces accommodate art collections, concert halls and commercial offices. The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao displays titanium panels that reflect the light of the Basque coast. The Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles combines stainless steel surfaces with wooden acoustics for the Los Angeles Philharmonic. The Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein demonstrates his early approaches with white stucco surfaces and angled walls. The buildings emerge through computer-aided design that translates complex geometries into buildable structures.
