Hilton Shenzhen World Exhibition Center is a business hotel interior of 36,600 square meters in Shenzhen Airport New Town. The hotel is connected to the Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Center. The design draws on local cultures of shipping, exhibition and the ocean. Container and sail motifs appear as alternating blocks, original artworks and curved lines.

Unique Properties
Hilton Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Center is situated in Shenzhen Airport New Town and connected with the world’s largest convention and exhibition center. Based on that, the designer conceives the theme of "carrying on the past and opening a way for future" in combination with local cultures about shipping, exhibition, and the ocean. The result is a new landmark featuring both functionality and aesthetics and a witness to the emergence of the world-class Greater Bay Area.

Production Technology
Both functionality and aesthetics are valued in the design. Minimal furnishings in the lobby leave more room for crowds during the peak season. The lobby lounge offers sofa sets and long tables to facilitate business meetings or casual gathering. In the restaurant, regionally inspired colors and artworks give guests a deeper experience of local lifestyle. In the ballroom, luxury quality and ceremonial solemnity are highlighted by the pendant lights which draw inspiration from "containers". The concave and convex of furniture and curvaceous lines evoke the rhythm of flowing seawater, injecting a hint of freedom and vitality into the guest room.
Considering that most guests would be exhibitors or visitors, the designer optimized flow lines in the hotel to provide more comfort, higher efficiency, and better support for the exhibition and convention center. For instance, the ADD restaurant is relocated at the third floor so that after having their breakfast, guests can walk to the center directly from the sky loggia beside the lift hall.

Design Challenge
The hotel is connected with the world’s largest "reception hall"- Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Center - where international economic and cultural exchanges take place every year. We hope the hotel will be not only a window to urban culture and beauty, but also a bridge for communication and connection.
Although Shenzhen is the most dynamic metropolis in China, it is in lack of historical and cultural profoundness with only four decades of development. Therefore, the pain point in our design was how to explore and define the uniqueness of the city and its culture.
In the cultural exploration process, we found that the most common ethos of Shenzhen is pioneering and innovative urban spirit, which is in line with the owner’s corporate culture. By further including the cultures about shipping, exhibition and the ocean related to the owner’s business scope, we proposed the design theme of "carrying on the past and opening a way for future". Cultural elements like containers and sails are interpreted through alternatively displayed blocks, original artworks, and curved lines to build a modern and magnificent international hotel.
