In 1996, the design of the lakeside landscape reconstruction project in Lianchitan was carried out by Jack Chen. He carried the soft lines of the lakeshore into the trails and lakeside buildings.

The building is a 14F residential building located around the shore of the lotus pond. When Jack Chen first entered the hall when it is building , He saw a huge shaft, like a big column. At first, he tried various ways to desalination, which did not help. Later, he decided to circle the lotus pond. In the blooming lotus water of the lotus flower, finally he found the answer.
