LD: We will continue to pay attention to customer feedback after the project is opened, so that we can make timely adjustments and achieve customer profitability goals.

FS: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?
LD: It took one year from design to completion.

FS: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?
LD: Designers positioned it as "French life aesthetics" in a way that blended with the local "overseas Chinese culture". Enjoy immersive luxury accommodation experience.
