Frank Gehry, 82, is established as one of the most important architects of modern times because of the striking originality of his buildings.

The architect’s latest work in Hong Kong is set to be completed in 2012.

OPUS in Hong Kong, by Gehry, is another remarkable achievement: his first residential building. The history of the building begins with the Swire Group, which for more than 60 years had owned the exceptionally beautiful site, on Stubbs Road, a winding route that climbs from Happy Valley to the Peak on Hong Kong Island, overlooking the financial heart of Hong Kong.

“I couldn’t believe that sites in Hong Kong were still available,” says Gehry,

OPUS will host a dozen apartments, 2 with their own garden ranging in size from 557 to 641 square meters.

Where? 53 Stubbs Road, Happy Valley, Hong Kong
And just how much would it cost to live surrounded by such architectural genius????
