Integrating four distinct cultural institutions for the city: a 1,200-seat Grand Theatre; a 500-seat Multifunctional Hall, a Science Centre and an Art Museum, each venue within the centre incorporates unique characteristics to create engaging visitor experiences, but are united by a coherent formal and structural logic that spans 170 metres wide from east to west and 270 metre long from north to south.

The two larger and two smaller venues are connected by a central plaza that serves as a shared external foyer to each of the four cultural institutions. 

The development includes cafés, restaurants and educational facilities. The design optimizes natural light in all public areas and enhances connectivity; creating engaging civic spaces for Zhuhai’s residents to enjoy throughout the day and evening.

Energy consumption and indoor air quality monitoring systems with intelligent control will automatically adjust the centre’s interior environments for optimal comfort and energy reduction. Waste heat recovery will be used to meet the centre’s hot water demand with water-saving appliances connected to the centre’s water recycling system.

Designed to achieve two stars within China’s Green Building Evaluation Standard, the selection and procurement of the centre’s structural components has prioritised recycled materials.
