The 130,000 m2 archive complex, located in Shenzhen Longhua District will sit immediately next to the Millennium Plaza and river banks park. The project is conceived as a porous and inter-connected urban cluster sensitively built in response to the local fabric and natural resources. The complex will house a 600 seat conference venue, exhibitions, events spaces and a dedicated children's education center, that will all open up and connected with a loop of public and cultural promenade.

Design Firm: Atelier Global Limited; Client: Shenzhen Archive Department. Atelier Global is a young and aspiring practice that has strong belief in the power of design and creativity. We regard architectural design as quintessential to living environments that constantly encounters new and emerging needs. Hence we are not bounded by a conventional modernism approach with a singularity concern on differentiation of space and function. Rather, we always search for possibilities that may not be easily foreseen, and create projects with new insights by establishing various seemingly unrelated cross links to different project types, scales and spaces. Our systematic yet trans-boundary approach on design has been successfully applied to comprehensive project types including culture, education, hospitality, living communities, retail and working spaces. All of our projects are executed with critical attention to details and our completed projects have received renowned recognition from the professional industry. Atelier Global has received numerous design awards from Hong Kong and Cross-strait professional institutions and is actively involved in academic and cultural research including design Biennales and university teaching.
