The building adopts a linear form with projecting wings that are strategically positioned within existing landscape clearings, preserving mature planting and maximising views of the surrounding greenery. This arrangement creates a series of attractive communal gardens at the heart of the development, providing valuable outdoor amenity space for residents. Each apartment benefits from either a private balcony or ground-floor terrace, while direct connections between the landscaped gardens and the residents’ club lounge encourage social interaction, wellbeing, and year-round enjoyment of the outdoor environment.
