In the heart of the central district of Hong Kong, Pacific Place is a shopping mall at the base of four mixed-use towers with hotel, offices and serviced apartments. Constructed from the former Victoria Barracks, the shopping mall is defined by its luxury status by servicing the five star hotels above.
Contemporization has made Pacific Place one of the most iconic upscale spaces on Hong Kong Island. The grandiose atrium lends a sense of power and luxury as it occupies one of the most expensive pieces of land in Hong Kong.
This atrium creates a multi-tier public infrastructure. Part of the space was constructed into a network of pedestrian walkway system weaving through Admiralty and Central districts in Hong Kong. Professionals commute through the walkways of Pacific Place from and to work on a daily basis. The ground floor were mostly food and beverage stalls targeted to upper-middle class professionals, while the top malls cater to hotel guests.
