The design of IDEAL CITY HALL traces back to the history of Shenzhen, and reflects its infinite vitality. During the development of our times, architectures serve as the witness of rapid changes, making dream possible again and again. Shenzhen not only takes the lead to build the Greater Bay Area in an innovate way, but also traces back to its history to remind its citizens of how it developed from a fishing village 40 years ago to a new example leading world trend. IDEAL CITY HALL, a “city” outside Shenzhen, is a “city” that never forgets where it started. IT refreshes itself with a new look to realize the vision of "peace being my home". 

The reception area, the entrance of all areas, is centered on ecology and growth through minimalist design techniques, showing genuine life breaking out from the rocks. 

Reception gallery, elevator area, tea art experience area, VIP experience area are linked together with same color scheme and atmosphere, perfectly showcasing the continuity of space. With fragrant cloud yarn, every space becomes transparent and visible, and interior visual range of the is greatly extended and expanded, demonstrating an ecological wisdom in modern life. 

The space design stresses immersion experience. Through the penetration, intersection and transmission of color and light, the truth of smart city and primitive life is reflected not only in the connection of functional areas, but also in VIP areas. The scene with simplicity and modesty provides visitors home-like experience, free and peaceful. In the sand table area, winding stacked stairs realize the displacement of space. This area is connected with the atrium, infinitely extending the visual sense and conveying the concept of constant development. Movie-like space shows structural beauty with continuous penetration and infiltration. The large building massing is a dimensional initiative respecting the field. 

Immersing in the audio-visual area, visitors can experience the digital audio-visual technology in the new era, and have a wonderful encounter with the ideal city. The negotiation area is designed based on architectural techniques, such as stacking, division and shift of dimension, to create a sense of difference for visitors. With smooth traffic flow, all areas are connected and united as one. 

The design of In-depth negotiation area not only pays attention to privacy, but also embraces life with open design concept. Based on its overall plain and clean color, a touch of vintage indicates good life full of passion. Concise and stylish space conveys low-key luxury, self-controlled but interesting.
