The innovation of this design nurtured from local context is reflected in two dimensions. The first dimension is the visual harmony of architecture and environment with the combination of high-brightness white (the aluminum plates) and high-saturation blue (the sea and the sky) and green (the court and the coconut forest). The second dimension is the unity of architecture and local climate: the loose architectural layout makes the indoor spaces surrounded by the courtyards, and the comfort of living on the tropical seashore is realized by sufficient shading and ventilation.

As one of the partners and design directors of the gad Xiamen branch, as well as a national first class registered architect and a first-line architect, Likun Shen has focused on urban planning and architecture design topics such as urban organic renewal, Chinese architecture construction and featured town (or ideal town) for many years and has made remarkable achievements in the research of the modernity and regionalism of modern residences.

About gad, as an atypical design studio born in the transformation of rapid development of Chinese architecture design revolution, gad now is one of the most influential design companies countrywide. Instead of mass production, gad would rather choose to slow down and search for the existing significance of every space. A group of energetic and thoughtful young people gather together here to give rise to tons of interesting and fresh ideas. Now gad cooperates with insightful proprietors from diverse fields like hotel design, housing design, theater design and so on to boost new ideas for architecture, which at the same time, encourages itself to step into a better design world.
