The concept for the whole compound comes from a deep respect for the environment, taking full advantage of the natural views towards the lagoon and the sea. In the same way, the urban image of the building is expressed by the rhythm of its balconies on the fourth sides of the building, generating a relaxing atmosphere. The residential building consists of 7 levels with 40 apartment units in total, distributed in 5 typologies; thanks to this diversity and adaptability, the complex becomes attractive to real estate market, from a single resident, a newly married couple, a family, etc.
