OLIV is a commercial, retail and F&B building within the busiest shopping district of Causeway Bay in Hong Kong. The building sits on a small urban site of just over 280m2 with a building height of over 100m high and a floor-to-floor height of 4980mm. The design concept is inspired by the olive tree after which the building was named. Its unique form is wrapped with a triple-skin curtain wall with an outer layer of white cladding that contains "olive tree knots" or radiating stars. The signature star logo sits at the top of the roof and can be visible at night and from afar.

T X T has made it their mission right from the establishment to contribute through serving non-profit organizations, churches, social enterprises, community centers, schools, drug rehab centers, etc. of any size or scale at a minimum profit margin, or pro bono. Other than working with non-profit organizations, T X T has established themselves on the commercial front, with over 50 international design awards received. T X T has acted as design architect / interior designer on a number of new-built architectural projects, including boutique hotels, service apartments, “Ginza-type” retail buildings, old building renovation, etc. in Hong Kong as well as in Mainland China.
As the building design is inspired by the olive tree, OLIV is the name specially designed for the building along with a logo that is consistent with the building design. OLIV becomes the branding of the building for all its retail and F&B tenants. The dedicated website is: www.oliv.com.hk
