The monolithic structure with uniform window sized in a staggered arrangement [give the building] a simple and calm character. [Additionally, staggered] balconies included on each floor of the building give a more slender appearance - said the architects on a press release.

The ground floor of the building is essentially transparent, with outdoor trails leading into a large entrance, which opens up on the opposite side into community areas, including a kitchen.
