Design
The developer designed the building so that each unit can be cross-ventilated. Each unit has 2-3 frontages in order to achieve this.[6] The balconies are designed with a zig-zag pattern which: the design element invites more light into the apartments.[7]
The building has 300 one, two and three bedroom apartment/units.[8]
