About K11 – A Concept of Multicultural Living
K11 : A Harmonious Blend of Art · People · Nature
K11 is the world’s first original brand to pioneer the blend of three essential elements of Art · People · Nature. Beginning with an urban multicultural lifestyle, the brand brings unprecedented and unique five-sense experience to the public through the marvelous integration of multidimensional art appreciation and exchange, recreation and reappearance of local humanity, green architectural space and people’s daily lives and pulses in mall and public space within the unique district of K11. Since its first opening in Hong Kong, K11 has always gained considerable international media attention on the latest moves.
Art – K11 not only displays a permanent collection of local young artists’ works, but also allows the public to appreciate different local artworks and performance during shopping and leisure through the provision of various multi-dimensional spaces. This can help enhance the communication and exchanges between local artists and the public, nurture habits of art appreciation, and allow young artists to have more opportunities for showcasing their works so as to foster the development of local art.
People – K11 manages, reorganizes and integrates humanity, history and geography of the adjacent regions from various perspectives in different cities. It revitalizes, regenerates and recreates the humanistic experience, art and culture in the regions so as to create a unique K11 multicultural living area.
Nature – Various green design and technology concepts are taken into account in the interior architecture of K11 projects so as to minimize the negative impacts on the natural environment and upgrade the overall quality of urban public premises. Designed with a garden concept, K11 features a multidimensional natural landscape with a variety of local plants, green roof, vertical greening and urban farming, and creates a perfect integration of natural space and local culture so that visitors feel like indulging in an urban oasis and are inspired to consider the intimate relationship between human and nature.
