Fantora Wedding Banquet Center

Client: Fantora Wedding Banquet Center

Designed by a world-renowned team for celebrities, wealthy clients and royal families, the project addresses the waste created when bespoke settings are dismantled after one event.

It transforms million-dollar wedding experiences into a permanent, shared venue. Its scalable model offers "a million-dollar wedding experience at an accessible price," expanding access while maximizing resource reuse.

High-frequency use also generates stable, sustainable returns.

Design Concept:

The 24,000 m², nine-story venue contains nine themed banquet halls, serves up to 5,000 guests simultaneously and functions as a system-based spatial product rather than a conventional wedding venue.

Marine Civilization unifies the narrative and brand. Inspired by iconic seas and coasts, each hall translates regional culture, art and history into a distinct immersive experience within one coherent system.

Interdisciplinary, cross-media and cross-cultural design, multimedia, art installations and innovative materials create varied immersive environments. Together, they form a competitive platform intended to remain market-leading for five years.

Design Highlights: - Diverse Design Languages: Artistic languages from different regions, periods and cultures are reinterpreted under one Marine Civilization theme.

Spatial Translation - Art is translated into space through: Spatial interpretation of painting Contemporary reinterpretation of classical art Immersive expression of mythological narratives - Integrated Immersive Experience: Digital media, intelligent lighting and custom installations create deeply immersive environments.

Spatial Organization & Operational System:

The project separates guest circulation from service circulation while both share centralized service infrastructure and an integrated building management system. - Guest Circulation: Dedicated passenger elevators take guests directly from the ground-floor lobby to their designated halls. - Service Circulation: A service-elevator network links the Level 3 central kitchen to preparation rooms on every banquet floor, enabling efficient service for 5,000 guests simultaneously. - Central Management System: One platform coordinates intelligent lighting, audio and digital media across all nine floors.
