Southeast Asia Building – May-June 2018

(Jacob Rumans) #1

The project will be designed out
of Henning Larsen’s Hong Kong office
led by Design Director Claude Bøjer
Godefroy and Managing Director
Elva Tang, with Arup providing total
engineering services from Hong Kong
and Manila offices led by Director YL
Cheng.
One of the tower’s most distinctive
features is a large public plaza at the
tower base – used for activities and
social gatherings, an important part of
the Filipino culture – with a canopy
of trees designed in alignment with
local climate to provide both shade,
shelter and the ambiance of a Filipino
tropical forest.
The Icone Tower is expected to
be completed by end of 2021.
