Exploiting this, the facade holds remarkable volumes finished with a wide variety of materials, colours and textures, enhancing the contemporary straight lines and glass transparency in the openings and the terraces.

Upwards there is a particular detail on the terraces with sloping wood ceilings. Finally, a large box concludes the tower top duplex apartments with intermediate volumes.

The relationship between the internal and the external is also due to the large frame that provides a wide visual range, making it possible to enjoy the view of the immediate and distant urban landscape.
