First International Financial Centre

The massing of the building is reduced by the articulation of the facade, which is a distinctive departure from many of the buildings in this prized location. The project features a horizontal pattern offset with vertical sunshades and a cantilevered element that creates an iconic statement. The top of the building includes a flying buttress and shaded roof terrace, while lighting is integrated into the curtain wall to maintain the iconic stature of the building during the evening hours.
