The design approach is to provide global standards and facilities with a contemporary interpretation.

The concept is of four leaves of bedroom accommodation emanating from a six storey atrium all with stunning views.

All services are generated on site to ensure continuous operation – water from a local borehole; electricity from the central CHP plant with waste heat providing the building’s cooling and heating requirements.
