INSPIRATION: The Chinese name of this project has a historic background. It is called Diaoyutai. The name originated from the name of a complex of ancient imperial gardens and modern state guesthouse. Wang Yu, the litterateur of the Jin Dynasty once built a high stand to fish from there. In the Emperor Qianlong reign, 1773 in the Qing Dynasty, a lake was built. In the next year, a gated platform was built. In 1959, it was renovated into the State Guesthouse for state visits and meetings.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The developer selected us and another design agency out of four candidate agencies for this project. As there were only 100 units to be built, the developer planned to have two different design styles for customers to choose. Ours is the mix and match style while the others is modern Zen. Most of the units sold had chosen our design. At the later stage, we further developed our design to meet specific needs of different units.
CHALLENGE: Difficulties emerged during the design process. The developer originally required the western style to be more dominant, but after market research, they changed the direction drastically to Western elements in a Chinese vessel, led to redrawing construction documents from scratch. But in the end, we thank our clients for their persistence. An agency with aspiration in cooperation with an ambitious client can make dreams a reality.
