The extensions of the living rooms with the narrow verandas on each side allow for spaces for greenery to connect with nature and the beautiful vistas, while used for protection from the harsh sunlight. Bold colors are part of the palette of our lives and the red and white colors of the façade gives the building a striking presence in the neighborhood.
