A milestone for a progressive and new model of sustainable habitat. A habitat based on the sense of community and social interaction. A residential complex made out of distribution and planning flexibility made of connections and co-existence in an open-planned environment. A habitat that invests in morals, happiness, communications, transforming it into a resource for a new type of cohabitation and active life.

A central monumental garden creates an attractive open space providing an inspirational and special place for residents. It offers the inhabitants useful facilities in the immediate vicinity. The multi-purpose courtyard turns into a recreational space fostering a healthy environment and strengthens social interaction for all the age groups. For children and teenagers, access to playground and sports facilities in the immediate vicinity of their residential unit is a precious asset. Patios as private courtyards are linked to local traditions. Vegetation in these spaces is used to create hidden relaxing spaces to respect the privacy of the inhabitants. A unique residential complex that offers a high quality of life for the inhabitants. Each unit has a private patio. The design of the units expresses a modern and flexible interior space. They are luxury and contemporary units that introduce a new identity for the neighborhood.
