Providing 124 apartments, the square tower has large dual-aspect living rooms at each corner with alternating and overlapping balconies giving the façade a dynamic twist. The tower is clad in glazed terracotta panels with vertical grooves whilst the adjacent link buildings feature a contrasting brick.
