GRASS CEILING
It was in Hong Kong that billionaire Adrian Cheng, heir to a family fortune built on a jewelry empire, erected his most recent project: Victoria Dockside, the headquarters of K11 Atelier, an outsized and innovative concept created by the same forty-something visionary.
The program? To revolutionize business through art and culture.
THE WORLD AFTER - ACCORDING TO ADRIAN CHENG
Here, Adrian Cheng directly addresses the new creative, entrepreneurial and disruptive generations.
What he calls the "creative vertical city" sets out to reinvent the modern workspace by mixing art, people and nature within an integrated ecosystem. Plants are everywhere: 217,000 of them on the façade and 13,000 making up the site's green spaces. In all, 90% of Sky Garden is covered in by vegetation!
The eco-friendly building — with energy savings of more than 30% in line with the EMSD code of the HKSAR government — is the first in the world to attain every platinum level of the Well Building Standard, the final Hong Kong BEAM Plus New Building certification and platinum LEED certification in the United States.
