Interesting, I would say those buildings in HK don't have too much order and variety, but too little. There is no order, the facade is completely chaotic, but there is also no variety, it is all same-same in its brutalist housing style. But I guess that amounts to the same. Regarding the window trick, I think I've seen something similar with very old or maybe neoclassical buildings in the US. They had a whole fake storey between the first and second to make the building look taller - or maybe they merged the first and second floor to make it look smaller? I'm not sure and can't find the link where I read this, but it is a very similar and really cool effect.
