- Research
- Prior to starting project design, extensive research was carried out, in coordination with the client, of market conditions on Hainan Island, available apartment types and sizes, potential purchaser profiles, adjacent and nearby amenities and visits to surrounding similar developments. As the design proceeded, this research continued and was integrated into the final design
