Constructed with
reinforced concrete the three storey residence features windows of all different shapes and sizes. the side facing towards the ocean is the northern area, and a road with a row of
condominiums and heavy traffic run by its side. while the large building aperture enables an open view to the ocean, it also draws all the attention from the road and condominiums.
