Rather than permitting frontal perspectives surrounded by the dividers, the glass corners offer a great deal all the more fascinating all encompassing perspectives.

Every room has a little glass gallery, like a straight window, set back of the limit of the cantilever, so to improve the visual significance of the level surfaces. The staircase has been created as a sculptural component. The ocean is unmistakable through its translucent glass steps. This straightforwardness additionally permits the regular light to touch base to the cellar. Around evening time, the strides light up as a light.
