Clear stair turrets link the towers and create a sense of transparency. At the ground level, the green base forms a lightly undulating plaza and provides residents with access to recreational areas designated as community clubs. The upper part of the plinth forms a sunny west-facing parkland area.

In this way the need for hallways is obviated. The orientation accentuates daylight access and view to the Bahe River and the green spaces beyond.
