Through lighting changes and adjustable devices, the auditorium can readily switch between different styles, ensuring it is versatile and practical enough to meet the diverse needs of users.

Production Technology: The design of the main stage is inspired by the pointed roofs seen in ancient Chinese buildings. These roofs come together at the top to create a spire. By taking the essence of this design and combining it with modern aesthetics, an elegant crystal pavilion hangs from the ceiling, featuring varying heights and a layered look.
Design Challenge: The renowned mortise and tenon structure found in traditional ancient architecture is utilized to refine and simplify the traditional oriental elements, using contemporary materials and techniques to bring them to life.
Research: The design was intended to create a wedding venue that meets the needs and tastes of both young couples and their parents, which can alter between modern and traditional styles.
Inspiration: The design of the banquet hall takes inspiration from a special kind of jewelry called Lovers' Eyes. The concept of concentric circles, where small circles are enclosed within larger ones, also mirrors this design. It symbolizes the ideals of staying together, protection, attachment, and waiting. Husbands and wives, throughout their lives, surround each other with layers of love, tolerance, consideration, and support.
Project Duration: The project was designed and completed in 2023 in Wuhan, China.
Operation Flow: The color of the auditorium is inspired by the chameleon, allowing it to seamlessly blend with any environment. It can shift from a modern and simple style to a traditional Chinese wedding venue, offering a wide range of styles that exude a luxurious ambiance.
