Luohu Library and Youth Activity Center Opens in Shenzhen
The Luohu Library and Youth Activity Center, designed by Shenzhen Huahui Design and iDEA, opened in 2025 in Shenzhen's Luohu district. The 77,077 m² mixed-use complex, located at the threshold between natural terrain and dense urban fabric, explores how a large public building can integrate landscape and city. The design concept, "Stacking Mountains, Layering the City," aims to introduce permeability and openness into a high-capacity cultural complex. Key team members include Chief Architect Xiao Cheng (Shenzhen Huahui Design) and Principal Architects Gao Yan and Guo Xin (iDEA). Interior design was by City Group and SD Design, landscape design by AUBE, and signage by Benzhi Design. The project was photographed by On-site Elephrame and Right Angle Image.
