In order to match the nursing house characteristics, the team consider providing a leisure and pleasure visual, to interact with the elders. They specially designed and come up with three schemes. “Spring in Leisure Court” long scroll by Leong Kit Man is selected.  The overall vision of the murals is based on the living environment of the elders, the main elements are flowers and birds, which finished by Chinese fine brushwork to bring them alive, forming a relaxing garden.
