In 2012, Atelier Deshaus architects designed the Youth Center of Qingpu in Shanghai, China. The theme of the idea is based on the ability of adapting the surrounding, large-scale urban to fit a small, urban space. Atelier Deshaus aimed to recreate the feeling and memory of a traditional town landscape within the city. The building itself was designed to have many divisions that broke up the building into individual functional spaces. These spaces included a courtyard, plaza, and lane. The dividing of different parts of the building generated a feeling of a small city when you are in the building as you travel from one part of the building to another. Atelier Deshaus created a place for ideal social interaction between the teenagers who visit the Youth Center of Qingpu. The design of the Youth Center is very modern. The building itself is mostly made of white walls with some green and yellow accent painting. Fixtures within the building also add to the modern theme. The building as a whole is made mostly of straight walls that add a very strong modern feeling.
