德輔道中61至65號的 #華人銀行大廈 最為大眾熟悉或許只有大樓十七樓、總是「排長龍」的百年找換店。

華人銀行大廈由昔日產量不少的華人建築師 #周耀年 、 #李禮之 (周李建築師工程師事務所)設計(其他作品如九龍麵粉廠和香港聖公會聖馬利亞堂)。大樓的水泥外牆吸引了我,1995年呂元祥建築師事務所曾為廈設計過幕牆系統,但現時所見的外加建築裝飾應為2002年 JADL Design Ltd. 負責:高層以不同金屬裝飾部件點綴,水泥外牆成了一道灰色背景,仍然可見;低層以石材全面覆蓋,一時也找不到能看見柱樑間有彎角設計細節、看見原水泥結構的舊相片。

2020年4月經濟日報曾報道指華懋將與中信銀行合作,計劃把華人銀行大廈及華懋大廈兩廈合併,重建成1幢25層高新商廈,但暫未見有更新消息。

The Chinese Bank Building at 61-65 Des Voeux Rd was completed in 1966, designed by Chau Lu-Nin and Richard Lee (Chau & Lee Architects & Engineers), HK-Chinese architectural firm who designed a lot of buildings in HK since 30s (such as Kowloon Flour Mills & HKSKH St. Mary's Church). The exposed concrete facade caught my attention to snap these few photos and digging out of its architectural history. Full info in Chinese description.
