HLD Art & Design Creates Immersive Space at One Courtyard Experience Center in Shenzhen

Its purpose is to function as a property sales center. But at the One Courtyard Experience Center in Shenzhen, HLD Art & Design took advantage of the building’s open interior space to do much more. The design team populated the center with original works from a number of artists, creating an immersive journey that seeks to examine the intersection between people, technology, and nature. In the central leisure area, for example, is an installation called “Nature Technology and Nature / Mimicry Organism Series,” featuring silver umbrella-shaped metal pieces on a grid-pattern backdrop wall. Guests can sit on wavy blue sofas in wash of sounds that mix mechanical and natural. It’s all designed using curatorial thinking to get the creative juices flowing.
