      K11 MUSEA, the formidable fortress that has been holding court next to Rosewood Hong Kong is finally open, and as we learn, it’s not just Tsim Sha Tsui’s newest shopping mall: it’s setting a new benchmark as Hong Kong’s most sophisticated museum-retail complex yet. The brainchild of New World Group’s Adrian Cheng, K11 MUSEA is the K11 brand’s flagship property — much like its neighbour Rosewood Hong Kong, helmed by his sister Sonia Cheng, is the hotel’s global flagship.

      As a key part of the US$2.6 billion Victoria Dockside development, it’s all an effort to revitalise the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront, which according to Adrian Cheng “has lost its legendary charm since the late 90s.” He adds, “K11 MUSEA will be Hong Kong and Asia’s new cultural destination, where global millennials can come together and discover their muse.”

      To do so, Cheng has pulled out all the stops to create a one-of-a-kind retail experience, particularly enlisting ‘100 Creative Powers’ to mastermind the architecture, interiors and artwork. As Cheng says, “where K11 MUSEA stands today has historically played a vital role in the exchange of ideas, and as the confluence of cultures in Hong Kong. It is therefore my vision to reinvigorate this district with 100 creative powers and continue our mission in incubating local and global creative talent.”

      K11 Musea
      The Gold Ball is a new media art space located on the second floor of K11 MUSEA.

      Measuring a whopping grand total of 1.2 million sq. ft. and spanning over ten floors, the retail giant boasts numerous international brands, including some of their largest stores in Hong Kong. It’s billed to be an immersive, multi-sensory space: an attempt to make art and culture more democratised for the everyday shopper.

      The building’s architecture is a collaborative effort led by Kohn Pedersen Fox and James Corner Field Operations. James Corner also had a significant hand in the wave-like redesign of the Avenue of Stars. The entire complex is inspired by the concept of ‘A Muse by the Sea,’ as apparent in its name.

      Other design firms that also had a hand in the blueprint include Ronald Lu & Partners, Hong Kong design firm LAAB, OMA, led by famed Dutch architects Rem Koolhaas and David Gianotten and UK lighting design practice Speirs + Major.

      Inside its walls, K11 MUSEA also boasts over 40 world-class contemporary art pieces, featuring works by Hong Kong artist Samson Young (presented with a mini golf-inspired art installation below), Carol Bove, Paola Pivi (known for her neon-hued polar bear sculptures), street artists Bao Ho, Katol of collective Startfromzero and Ron English. Those keen on new media and video art will want to head to the Gold Ball exhibition space — what looks to be a massive disco ball in the shopping mall atrium — located on the second floor.

      You’ll also find artistic touches wherever you look — from the floral backdrop of the ‘Koncierge’ information desk to the undulating lines and pearly lamp fixtures that repeat throughout the central atrium, ceilings and escalators. Named the ‘Opera Theatre’, the theatrical central atrium features a 7-metre-high skylight. Tinged with warm lighting and brass touches, the space feels more like Aladdin’s cave of wonders than a shopping complex.

      Juniors can take a ride down the peacock-themed slide.

      Outside, a new family-friendly playground is possibly the most breathtaking one we’ve seen — a 9-metre peacock climbing frame and tubular slide, designed by Denmark’s award-winning playground designers Monstrum. Also featured is the Legoland Discover Centre, with a multi-storey Donut Playhouse filled with family-friendly edutainment and shops. There’s also an oval lawn for outdoor cinema screenings and special events, as well as an alfresco dining destination.

      K11 MUSEA boasts many exciting new openings, with areas dedicated to technology, streetwear, high fashion, beauty and dining. Here are all the highlights that we’re anticipating the most.

      K11 MUSEA boasts the world’s largest green walls.

      Proving that K11 Group doesn’t just have its head in the commercial clouds, K11 MUSEA also boasts the world’s largest green walls wrapping its facade — with over 50,000 sq. ft covered in live greenery (that’s about 18 tennis courts’ worth of foliage). On the roof, you’ll find an urban farming space. There are also enclosed green cabinets of exotic plants to educate the public. Long before the opening date, the K11 MUSEA project has also been awarded the US Leed (Gold) and the Hong Kong Bean Plus (Gold) standards, both green building pre-certifications proving that sustainability is key to its design. With all the excitement surrounding this side of the harbour, we can’t wait to check out the space for ourselves.
