About The Peak Tower (Victoria Peak)
On Hong Kong Island, near the top of Victoria Peak, at Victoria Gap, sits the Peak Tower, a shopping complex. Inside is the upper terminal for the Peak Tram, a funicular that opened in 1888. The site is 396 m (1,299 ft) up, which puts it 156 m (512 ft) under the summit. The architects wanted a design that would stand out on the skyline without breaking the natural line of the hills, so they picked a dip in that line for the site and limited the tower to a height of 428 m above sea level.
The second tower on this site was designed by British architect Terry Farrell and completed in 1997. It had seven floors covering 10,400 m², or 112,000 ft², in total, and a wok shape at the top. The Hong Kong architect Chung Wah Nan designed the first tower, which opened on August 29, 1972, and was demolished in 1993. Its upper floors were held up by two columns, leaving open room between the upper and lower sections, a feature kept in the redeveloped building.
The alterations of 2005 to 2006 cost $100 million. Glass enclosed the lower portion to add retail space, the escalators were relocated, and the viewing terrace moved to the top of the wok shape, where it overlooks both Victoria Harbour and Aberdeen. The building then had eight floors. Close by stands the Peak Galleria, a second leisure and shopping center, built atop the bus station that serves the Peak.

- Wide bowl-shaped top
- The bowl-shaped top flares out beyond the floors below, held up by slim struts. Print slowly with good cooling, and use Print friendly to adapt the thin struts to the print scale.
- Glazed grid on the lower floors
- The lower floors show a fine grid of glazing bars. Layers of 0.12–0.16 mm keep it crisp, and a larger print size keeps the lines distinct.
- One piece with the ground
- The Peak Tower (Victoria Peak) is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
- Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. The Peak Tower (Victoria Peak) takes the building color.
- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
