The inclined plateau acts as the roof as well as a street façade deployed on an oblique plane which steps up to an elevated pool at the northern tip of the slope. The sloping plane also leads the visitors up to the main entrances at mid-level located on the eastern and western edges of the roof.

The eastern and western facades have limited openings which provide access to intermediate terraces that define the eastern and western edges of the property.

The northern terraces of the project located at the lowest edge of the site are also accessible from the reception area by making use of a mobile balcony that travels vertically on the façade.
