The buildings are designed with generous proportions and high quality materials, and take inspiration from Chinese bronze pots, with each of its three towers sitting on sturdy legs, the bowed bronze solar screen resembling the body of the pot and the duplex penthouses narrowing to form the neck. Each apartment is entered across an external garden terrace leading directly into a large, dual aspect living space. The penthouses have a double height living space, which faces south to take advantage of the views and to allow light to permeate into the plan. The focal point of the whole development is the luxury clubhouse which provides community facilities to meet, relax, entertain, exercise and do business.
