LUKE FOX – HEAD OF STUDIO, LONDON, FOSTERS AND PARTNERS
The Murray, Hong Kong’s newest luxury hotel has now fully opened to the
public. Located the heart of Hong Kong, with panoramic views of The Peak and
the gardens to the south, this major transformation of a listed government
office building reinvents this unique urban quarter – stitching together the
urban fabric by linking the large green spaces flanking the site to the east
and west.
Luke Fox, Head of Studio, Foster + Partners London said: “Our design for
The Murray creates a dialogue between the old and the new – giving the
building a new lease of life and a renewed purpose, with a unique sense of
character that is embedded within the fabric of the building.”
MARK BRUCE - MAIN BOARD DIRECTOR, EPR ARCHITECTS

Bruce has extensive experience across the hotel sector including working
