01
MEGA-COLUMNS AND STEEL STRUCTURE
Zaha Hadid Architects’ innovative design for The Henderson echoes the structural forms and layering of a Bauhinia bud about to blossom. Its unique shapes and volumes are realised by six mega-columns and one side core steel structure. Together the superstructure can bear a total tonnage far surpassing the gravitational and imposed load criteria for an average skyscraper.

3D-CURVED ALL-GLASS BUILDING FAÇADE
The Henderson’s spectacular curved glass façade was meticulously crafted in Europe by seele from over 4,000 panels of four-ply, double-laminated curved insulated glass. It protects users and property from extreme weather conditions, filters out excessive outdoor heat, and reduces The Henderson’s carbon footprint by increasing energy efficiency.
03
BASEMENT
The Henderson’s basement is surrounded by six MTR tunnels, posing significant challenges to basement construction. Over 500 high-precision sensors monitored construction and stabilised the structure, ensuring smooth subway operation. The basement’s 4-storey car park will provide 265 car parking spaces equipped with EV chargers and 78 parking spaces for motorcycles.

BALLROOM - CLOUD 39
The first high-rise glass ballroom in Hong Kong offers panoramic views across the city. To give visitors a truly immersive experience, we used the largest possible full-sized glass panels, some of which weigh over 3 tons.
From the breathtaking architecture to the seamless vision of tomorrow, The Henderson is powered by a multitude of technological firsts that have been created through our people-centric philosophy.
Ballroom – Cloud 39
The Ballroom - Cloud 39 is a magnificent feat of modern engineering. The building’s iconic glass façade swoops up to create an 8m clear glass ceiling that floats over the column-free banquet hall, offering panoramic views all around. It is set to be one of the city’s most memorable destinations, and the ideal venue for special events.
Ballroom – Cloud 39
BESPOKE GLASS FAÇADE
A spectacular and unique façade crafted in Europe from over 4,000 panels of four-ply, double-laminated curved insulated glass. It is also designed to protect people and property – zero-UV penetration and resilient even against extreme weather such as super-typhoons. The thermal insulating façade filters out excessive heat from the outdoors, with benefits for energy efficiency and reducing the carbon footprint.

LIFT STERILISATION POD
A revolutionary project-specific patented innovation to keep our lifts hygienic by regularly and automatically sterilising the air and lift surfaces with UV-C and ionisation, tackling bacteria and viruses, to safeguard the health of passengers and serve as part of the resilience plan for potential illness threats.
LIFT STERILISATION POD
AI-OPTIMISED LIFTS
Using state-of-the-art technologies, lifts are automatically assigned for service, minimising wait time. They even sense lift loading to determine optimal travel times, re-assigning which lift is called to meet lunchtime down-peak lift requirements.
