The project is located in the southeast corner of Center of One Avenue in Futian District of Shenzhen. In the densely populated Shenzhen, a clever parasitic relationship is formed between the buildings of NEOBIO and this 280,000-square-foot commercial complex, and the assembly of the two forms a mutually harmonious symbiosis.

Innovation:
The outdoor extension space is a set of installations, and this set of cellular water droplets foreboding the cellular reproduction, duplication and division of the vitality of life, represents the beginning of renewal and change — the cellular mimicry of growth, change and division echoes the architecture mutually.

Creativity:
Yellow is the mid-frequency part of the visible part of electromagnetic waves, and what lies beneath the large yellow color gamut is a continuous humanistic exploration of "life and growth". The "social family unit composition" is explored in the color counterpoint. The 7-meter high pacifier symbol centered on the front of the building alludes to the spatial core of the growth of juvenile form. The semi-circular arc of the entrance and the reverse semi-circular arc above form a strong upward growth trend in terms of visual dynamics, collaboratively opening up an entrance to the free kingdom for children in the city.

Functionality:
The wall installation at the entrance is adapted from the "I" character of NEOBIO's English logo, which is a juvenile tree modeled, indicating the information and order of growth. The thick terrazzo metal tables and chairs, and the semi-circular hillside grass landscape reinforce the juvenile gene in the space, forming an organic combination of natural and unnatural with the surrounding greenery. The architecture is no longer bound to traditional forms, and the foundation of the juvenile gene is based on the seamless integration of natural details.

Sustainability:
This is a renovation project of an old shopping mall. The project adopts a lot of artificial leathers and wallpapers instead of stone and metal materials, thereby creating a relaxing spatial atmosphere and reducing labor-consuming work.
