the only problem is paris hiltons' dad owns it

but i love the red sandstone and the work put into the support statues (pillars) and the fiddly bits on the front the design is refreshing from the blond sandstone of most of edinburgh and the archway at the narrow(ish)  front makes it look grand and picturesque

There are two buildings, both in Hong Kong. The first is the IFC2. Its not the tallest in the world but when you are standing at the foot of the building, the shell goes straight up into the sky. Very powerful and beautiful. There is also a large shopping mall at the base, lots of high end stores (also one of my favourite malls). The link is: http://www.ifc.com.hk/english/onetwo.aspx

The second building is scheduled to be completed in 2010, and its Union Square Phase 7. It will be the tallest building in Hong Kong. The link is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Commerce_Centre
