Instantly recognisable for its hundreds of circular windows, Jardine House is an iconic skyscraper nestled amongst Hong Kong’s Central skyline. The building stands as a testament to the city’s rich history and vibrant energy, an architectural marvel built in 1973 at 1 Connaught Place. Designed by Canadian architect, James Kinoshita for Palmer and Turner (now P&T Group), the 52-storey Connaught Center, as it was originally known, instantly took pride of place as the tallest building in Asia, reflecting Hong Kong’s rise as a financial centre.
Originally serving as the headquarters of the Jardine Matheson Group, one of Hong Kong's oldest and most influential trading companies, Jardine House now houses a mix of commercial offices and retail spaces. Today, visitors can marvel at its striking architecture from the exterior or head inside to BaseHall, the upmarket food hall on the lower ground levels.
For history enthusiasts and architecture aficionados alike, Jardine House offers a fascinating glimpse into Hong Kong's past while standing as a testament to its enduring spirit of innovation and progress. Its towering presence and rich heritage make it a must-visit destination for anyone eager to delve deeper into the soul of this dynamic city.
