” “In the hustle and bustle of the city, there’s a place full of sunlight. It is the extension of ‘home’ and also a symbol of happy life in Chinese tradition. What we created is a warm home which allows people to return to nature and enjoy the landscape and the warmth. Life here is like what is described in the famous poem — facing the sea with spring blossoms. ” Rapidly as the residential landscape develops, people in the city begin to get tired of the cookie-cutter urban landscape.
