Guangzhou Circle Mansion is a circular shaped and skyscraper based building made by Italian Architecture firm A.M. Progetti in Guangzhou, China.

Guangzhou Circle Mansion building has a circular hole measuring 48 Meters (157 foot) in diameter. This building has also 33 floors, 85,000 square meters (914,000 square foot) of total floor space and 138 meter (452 foot) high.

Currently this building serves as home to the Guangdong Plastic Exchange, several exclusive offices unites and a hotel.

When reflected in the nearby river, the building’s shape also corresponds to the number 8, which is an admittedly very nice touch for this arguably gaudy project. The number 8 is considered especially lucky in Chinese culture, and A.M Progetti correctly points out that the Beijing Olympics kicked off at exactly 8:08 am, on 8-8-2008, for that very reason.

It seems that not everyone is a fan though, as Sky new reports that locals refer to it as “The flashy rich people’s circle.”
