# Skewed Sloping Structures Opus Hong Kong by Frank Gehry is Atop a Winding Hillside By Kevin Young | Published 2012-05-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opus-hong-kong References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2012/05/opus-hong-kong-by-frank-gehry/) & [foga](http://www.foga.com/) Residents who have always dreamed of having an entire floor of a building to themselves can now rejoice with the Opus Hong Kong residential building designed by Frank Gehry. The Los Angeles-based architect selected an unusual location where the structure sits atop a [winding hilly terrain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b2a-architects) in Hong Kong. Gehry designed the building specifically for Hong Kong's landscape where land is [scarce and bumpy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-the-slope) at some points. The building has a total of 12 residential suites, and each have a complete 360 degree view of the [crowded city and mountainous terrains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-three-heights). The design is eye-catching from the exterior, but the interior is even more inviting. The layout eradicates unnecessary walls and allows each suite to revolve around the building's core structure. Frank Gehry's Opus Hong Kong design is a lair most people would like to call home. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Hilly Architecture:** Opus Hong Kong's unique design atop a winding hilly terrain highlights the opportunity for architects to incorporate structure with natural environments. - **360-degree Views:** Opus Hong Kong's residential suites boasting a 360-degree view highlights an opportunity for the hospitality industry to bring innovative design experiences to their guests. - **Integrated Living Spaces:** The Opus Hong Kong's integrated living spaces illustrate an opportunity for the real estate industry to create unique living experiences that adapt to the changing needs of occupants. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture:** Architects can identify opportunities to create unique architecture designs that harmonize with natural environments like hilly terrains. - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can bring innovative design experiences to their guests like offering a 360-degree view of the landscapes and cities from their living spaces, providing an immersive experience. - **Real Estate:** The Opus Hong Kong's new design highlights an opportunity for the real estate industry to create unique living spaces that adapt to the changing needs of occupants, offering customizable living experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainable Dynamic Hilltop Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ro54.md) - [Sculptural Inverted Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-house-with-an-inverted-roof.md) - [Staggered Floor Modern Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-seven-floors.md) - [Glass Facade Premium Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/henderson-office.md) - [Terraced Urban Landmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/go-park-sai-sha.md) - [Curved Facade Canadian Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/architecture-building-culture.md) - [Fish Lifestyle-Inspired Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-gills.md) - [Curved Translucent Experimental Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptors-apartment.md) - [Faceted Cedar Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-house-on-a-hill.md)
