the external appearance responds to the existing encompassing residential context of the nearby village, in addition to allocating
the ground floors for the apartments and private gardens. the upper levels contain the penthouse units with unobstructed views of
the ocean. the clean rectangular volumes are clad with a system of white louvers which have been pulled away from the glass facade
to effectively provide passive shading at all sun angles.
