The building itself is profiled to maximise solar access to the apartments and to maintain solar access to the adjoining property. Apartments are designed from the inside out with open yet private balconies, rooms with outlooks, direct sunlight, good ventilation and simple elegant interior layouts. The development also includes a communal productive garden, play areas and outdoor seating. In addition, basement setbacks on Mannix Parade and McGirr Parade enable planting of large canopy trees.
