Forth BagleyForth Bagley is the Principal of Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF), the globally acclaimed architecture firm behind such one-of-a-kind developments as Tokyo’s Roppongi Hills, the Mandarin Oriental in Las Vegas and the renovations of London’s Unilever House and Paris’s Tour First, the tallest building in France, as well as the lead design architect responsible for transforming Victoria Dockside into the most vibrant cultural district in Hong Kong.
KPF’s design for the Rosewood Hong Kong is notable for its large stone piers that evoke the spirit of classic grand hotels, extra-wide panoramic glass insets with unobstructed views of Victoria Harbour and the tower’s stepped form, which changes depending on the viewer’s vantage point. For game-changing luxury residences K11 ARTUS, KPF have crafted a dynamic undulating exterior featuring curving balconies with a wavelike form that energises the entire district, while The Commune, a skybridge spanning across the urban window, provides an intriguing visual focal point. And for next-generation workspace K11 ATELIER, the firm have clad the exterior of the tower in Portuguese beige limestone piers accented with bronze-coloured trims to create a stately proportion of timeless elegance, while giant picture windows in each bay of the façade provide sweeping panoramas of the harbour and the Hong Kong Island skyline. Forth Bagley是享譽全球的建築公司Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF)的負責人。KPF曾負責多個地標項目,包括東京六本木新城、拉斯維加斯文華東方酒店,以及倫敦Unilever House及法國巴黎最高建築物Tour First的翻新工程。作為首席設計建築師的KPF在Forth Bagley的領導下,將Victoria Dockside塑造成香港最富活力的文化區。 -
James CornerGlobally acclaimed for his innovative approach to landscape architecture, James Corner is best known for his remarkable Tongva Park in Santa Monica, California, and the iconic The High Line in New York, a 1.45-mile-long linear park built on a historic rail line above the streets of Manhattan’s Lower West Side. At Victoria Dockside, the Director and founding partner of US-based firm James Corner Field Operations (JFCO) has overseen the landscape and streetscape design, and in particular the masterplan for the revitalised Avenue of Stars. Utilising eco-friendly materials throughout, the new Avenue of Stars emphasises its spectacular location on Victoria Harbour with a more spacious pedestrian sightseeing area, while enhanced green spaces and improved accessibility have helped transform the waterfront promenade into a world-class destination for locals and international visitors alike. Corner is also responsible for some of K11 MUSEA’s most eye-catching outdoor spaces, including: the Krescent Planter, a linear garden that deftly separates the mall area from the street; innovative outdoor performance venue Sunken Plaza; and the Bohemian Garden, a breathtaking oasis spread across two levels on K11 MUSEA’s rooftop.

Keith BradshawA leader in the field of lighting architecture, Speirs + Major have illuminated some of the world’s most iconic buildings, including the Millennium Dome and St Paul’s Cathedral in London. Led by Principal Keith Bradshaw, Speirs + Major is the creative force behind the spectacular Opera Theatre, K11 MUSEA’s grand atrium, presenting hundreds of meticulously positioned lights that evoke curiosity and creativity, resembling a galaxy or a mysterious body of stars. Upon closer inspection, the seemingly random lighting forms a spiral highlighting the “galaxy of creativity” within the space. Another masterpiece by the practice is the distinctive Butterfly Lighting that illuminates K11 MUSEA’s spectacular Visual Corridor, a 100-metre-long by 40-metre-wide thoroughfare that connects Salisbury Road to the Avenue of Stars waterfront promenade. Balancing out the intensity of the natural light outside during the day, the luminous ceiling lights radiate a subtle glow that enhances the feel and experience of the area while also providing an elegant decorative intervention between the panels of the feature ceiling. Speirs + Major is also responsible for the Firefly lighting in the Nature Discovery Park on 8F, which subtly illuminates the rooftop to create a magical experience in the dark.
