The spacious balconies, moreover, beyond permitting to enjoy the extraordinary Cyprus climate, represent both an aesthetic element giving personality to the project and a functional one as they control the solar radiation.

The building hosts three typical floors with an apartment of different dimensions and a luxurious penthouse enriched by gardens. The experience is completed by the possibility to enjoy a gym and a spa with an external swimming pool.
