Programme highlight
Being the future “ICON AMONGST ICONS” in Central Hong Kong, The Henderson, is designed by the world-renowned Zaha Hadid Architects. This project has a 34-storey above-ground office tower with 5-storey basement carpark by “top-down” method. Six inclined mega-columns and one side core steel structure, together with the complex and double-curved façade glazing have been designed to bring a unique shapes and volumes to the office tower.
The technical site visit to The Henderson is open to building professionals introducing articulation of its curvaceous architectural form by 16000 tons of pre-fabricated steels and more than 60% cylindrical or double curved glass panels. The delivery of such unique architecture requires full and innovative BIM adoption. Therefore, BIM adoption and its values, including interoperability, traceability, reliability and sustainability, are tightly integrated in project strategy to achieve project objectives and its deliverables.
Some key parameters of the site for reference:
- Site Area: 2,880 m2. G.F.A.: 43,200 m2
- 34-storey Office Tower
- 5-Storey basement with top-down construction method
- Over 4,000 panels of four-ply, double-laminated curved insulated glass

Technical Visit on 2 Murray Road, The Henderson
Ir Paris Wong
HKIE Building Division organised a technical visit to 2 Murray Road, The Henderson on 18 March 2023. Over 25 building professionals jointed the technical visit. The main contractor of this project is Hip Hing Construc-on Co. Ltd.
Being the future “ICON AMONGST ICONS” in Central Hong Kong, The Henderson, is designed by the world-renowned Zaha Hadid Architects. Its innova-ve design for The Henderson echoes the structural forms and layering of a Bauhinia bud about to blossom. This project has a 34-storey above ground office tower with a 5-storey basement carpark by “top-down” construc-on method to secure the ground movement and minimize the impact to the surrounding sensi-ve structures par-cular 6 MTR opera-ng tunnels and 3 HyD footbridges. Bored-pile wall with double or triple layers of grou-ng to prevent the ingress of the groundwater to the cofferdam. Over 500 high-precision sensors monitored construc-on and stabilised the structure, ensuring smooth subway opera-on. Six inclined mega- columns and one side core steel structure, together with the complex and double-curved façade glazing have been designed to bring a unique shapes and volumes to the office tower. The non-uniform footprint on each floor also increases the structurally complexity and difficul-es of the project.
The technical visit introduced ar-cula-on of its curvaceous architectural form by 16000 tons of pre- fabricated steels and more than 60% cylindrical or double curved glass panels. The delivery of such unique architecture requires full and innova-ve BIM adop-on. Therefore, BIM adop-on and its values, including interoperability, traceability, reliability and sustainability, were -ghtly integrated in project strategy to achieve project objec-ves and its deliverables.
On behalf of the HKIE Building Division, we would like to express our sincere gra-tude to Ir KH Mok and Ir Tony Za from Hip Hing Construc-on Co. Ltd on facilita-ng this fruiDul technical visit to our members and young engineers.
