The building exterior is designed with a terracotta rain screen. On the lower floors, punched windows set within a glazed white terracotta exterior form an angled bay to provide air flow within the building.

The interior residences are bright, modern and flexible, with luxurious finishes that complement the architectural aesthetic.
