The South (frontal) and East facing facades with its red – tinted concrete referencing traditional architectural filigrees (Jali) act as permeable membranes that filter air and sunlight and at the same time buffers outside sound.

They are equally separated by a central corridor that allow natural lighting and ventilation to enter the structure. All levels are reachable by way of a carefully articulated stair and accessible by elevator.

The roof terrace serves as a sundeck and a semi – covered observatory for attractive views of the mountains (to the southeast), the beach (to the north) and the rest of the low – density neighborhood.
