Central Plaza is located in the Wan Chai commercial area in the heart of Hong Kong’s central business district overlooking the harbor. In order to maximize views of the nearby harbor, the building was designed to be triangular in plan, with two legs of the triangle facing towards the water. With this design, two-thirds of available office space has harbor views, while the final third enjoys views of the mountains and surrounding city. Normally, many would refrain from a triangular plan as it creates too many dead corners; however, in this instance, designers rationalized internal floor space by cutting off the corners of the triangle. These truncated corners provide more workable internal space and avoid the negative connotations of sharp corners, in keeping with principles of feng shui
