The building has to be oriented east-west to
capture prevailing sea breeze and views to
the city.

But also the orientation for hot sun and heavy

rains.
The building has 32 different apartments with
4 types of flats varying from 3 to 6 bedrooms.

Interlocking of these variations expressed

externally by shear end walls that hold up the
cantilevers.

Minimalist surfaces cut away to open up

double-height terrace gardens at the corners.

construction and large area of white panels,bears a strong
resemblance to modern apartment buildings in the west.
Garden terraces and deep story-high garden terrace.
