A home office which can double as a large storage area is also located in one of the wings.
The unit is filled with thoughtful design elements such as remote-control operated two-way blinds which hide the air conditioners installed at the tops of the windows.allowing you to let the sun shine in before getting out of bed.

Those with particular sensitivities can enjoy an apartment that does not share any walls with neighboring units and has new walnut floors that do not creak.
