Research
During the design period, we did a lot of research to meet the needs of users. The end users of the project are aborigines and home buyers. For the aborigines, we interact with them by distributing questionnaires, organizing seminars, distributing design process diagrams and other methods to understand the requirements of the aborigines in time and integrate them into the design. For the needs of home buyers and owners, we cooperate with the planning company to collect various information, predict the policy trend, summarize and analyze, and form a project planning report to guide the design.
