The wrought iron balconies, vegetation and details create a nice harmony with the adjacent facades, maintaining the street´s rhythm; and when going inside the building transforms into a shelter from the hustle and bustle around it.

Each unit has about 35 sq m divided in dining and living room, kitchen, master bedroom and bathroom.

Color is also found in the common areas like the gym and the bicycles storage area. The same happens with the vegetation that is always present and stands out in the roof garden equipped with grill, relaxing areas, TV room and incredible views of the city day or night.
