Opus Hong Kong (Chinese: 傲璇; Jyutping: ngou6 syun4; pinyin: Àoxuán) is a 12-storey, 42.62 m (139.8 ft) residential high-rise completed in 2012 at 53 Stubbs Road on Mid-Levels in Hong Kong. The project was designed by Frank Gehry in collaboration with Ronald Lu and Partners, and developed by Swire Properties. It was Gehry's first Asian residential project.^[4]

The building consists of 12 residential units which range from 560 to 640 m² (6,000 to 6,900 sq ft), including two duplexes with pools. Additional features on the 3,020 m² (32,500 sq ft) site include underground parking, swimming pools, gyms, rainwater recycling for irrigation, and electric car charge systems. A 580 m² (6,200 sq ft) apartment, taking up the entire eighth floor, became the most expensive apartment in Hong Kong when it was sold for HK$470 million in August 2012.^[5]

The British Consul-General to Hong Kong has resided here since 2013.^[6]
