The foyer, themed "the growth marks of a shell," features three-storey high, stripe-like decorative surfaces simulating the growth textures of a shell. The auditorium, designed to accommodate an audience of around 1,700, features ceiling and wall designs inspired by the exterior of a treasure, with continuous undulating forms that also improve the acoustic experience of the space.
