Positioned as an integral extension of M+, the museum and cultural hub, the West Kowloon Art Pavilion M+ embraces its association with the institution by adopting the distinctive name of M+ as an inherent design feature. This architectural endeavor serves as a dynamic and symbolic space tailored for diverse exhibitions and events, functioning as a visual icon that unequivocally represents the entire building and its contextual relationship with M+, the Park, and West Kowloon.

The architectural form, characterized by geometric purity, presents a dramatic facade that transcends mere aesthetics—it serves as a potent visual communication tool. This visual impact is amplified by a low-consumption LED lighting system strategically integrated into the south building elevation, transforming it into a visible signage element from a distance. This intentional design choice positions M+ as a sought-after destination for art and culture enthusiasts.

Tinted transparent walls, juxtaposed with highly insulated solid walls, define the internal organization of the Arts Pavilion. This intentional duality achieves a delicate balance of openness and transparency, effectively connecting the intricacies of the content within while streamlining the environmental conditioning of the pavilion. The result is a pavilion that not only complements the ethos of M+ but also elevates its role as a cultural beacon within West Kowloon.
