From the architects: Henry David Thoreau once praised Walden Lake as a teardrop of the God, and hence evoked numerous people’s yearning for lakeside living.

Everyone has a lake in their mind, which brings them serenity, poetry and purity in the bustling city.

Lakeside living, ideal life

Living beside lake is amazing, which enables people to get close to nature and enjoy a peaceful life. As embracing the first light of the sun in the morning and overlooking the rippling waterscape, the mood is refreshed.

Interplay of light and shadows

The interplay of light and shadows highlights the contrast of different spatial scenes. The columns are arranged orderly, which interact with natural light and change its forms at the corridor, hence creating a mysterious yet fascinating atmosphere. Large areas of French windows are utilized, so that visitors are able to enjoy the outdoor scenery while exploring the space and talking.

The designers deliberately extended the circulation from 1F to 2F, to enable emotional conversion of visitors. It guides visitors to walk from the immersive scenes to the tranquil corridor, and then suddenly opens up the space on 2F.
