The 188,000 m² building sits on a site area of approximately 51,000 m² along the city's waterfront. The masterplan for the site, which includes the Creative Design Hall, the Shenzhen Science and Technology Museum, and a vast public green space, was announced by MAD in 2020. After six years, the project is now complete and is intended to serve as a cultural facility for design and cultural exchange.

Its undulating green roofs connect to the site's Talent Park. On the east side, the road is sunk underground, freeing the ground level for pedestrians. Entrances open at the building's different urban edges; Visitors can enter the building from every direction, climb the slopes, follow the roof paths, and reach lookouts in the north and south halls. At the center of the site, a shallow pool echoes the coastal wetland, and the plaza and roofs host outdoor performances, art markets, and festivals throughout the year.

The building is a design museum comprising two clusters of halls, north and south, spanning creative design and scientific living: exhibition galleries, public education spaces, a design library, and a multifunctional theater. The two volumes step down in height from the city toward the water, keeping views open across the site. The galleries are connected via a ring-shaped atrium. In the standard galleries, the ribbed concrete structure is left exposed as the ceiling, with lighting and services tucked within it. The facades are clad in natural white granite, cut into slender strips that follow the curves.

Shenzhen Bay Culture Square was conceived as a growing public field, connecting the headquarters district and the coast, the commercial center and cultural space. The project's public area was imagined as a coastal public space open to the city all day. The building's roofs are planted only with native species, and the planting between the stones steps down gradually toward the shore, joining the wetland rather than bordering it.
