The Shenzhen Reef Library is situated in Jiaochangwei, the only village along Dapeng Peninsula’s coastline in Shenzhen. The aggressive expansion of the tourism industry has caused this once tranquil and peaceful seaside village overcrowded and noisy. The initial design purpose was to create a diverse and complex public space within a tightly enclosed site. The site is divided by a nine-square grid, and the four corners of the building are contracted inward, decreasing its own volume while keeping a certain space with surrounding buildings.
