The Pedder Building is a nine-story event venue with a mezzanine in Central Hong Kong, built with Beaux-Arts architecture featuring arches, columns, and sculpted medallions. The interior provides flexible space for various events and exhibitions.
The building was completed in 1924 by architects Palmer and Turner and remains the only pre-World War II structure on Pedder Street. Despite alterations in the 1990s, it retained its Grade I Historic Building status.
The building houses well-known international art galleries that display contemporary works from established and emerging artists. These galleries shape the artistic life of the neighborhood and regularly attract art enthusiasts.
The building is located on Pedder Street in Central Hong Kong and is easily accessible by public transport. Visitors should note that the space is narrow and visitor numbers can be limited, so advance planning is helpful.
The building has an unusually narrow shape measuring 14 by 50 meters, making it an architectural curiosity on the street. Bronze figures and gargoyle masks were removed from the facade in the 1990s due to safety concerns.
