The amenities floor, located at the ground level, acts as a buffer between the tower and the podium, equipped with essential facilities to enhance the overall living experience.The ground floor also acts as an intersection, connecting the key nodes of the development, vertically and horizontally.
All key design factors, including site context, topography, circulation, and green strategies, have been meticulously configured, resulting in a long and sleek building that sits gently on a small plateau in Damansara Heights. This design results in a series of spaces that seamlessly connect people, the building, and the environment as a whole, showcasing a harmonious living experience for the residents.
Upon arrival, visitors are greeted with a serene and welcoming environment, thoughtfully designed to create a calming and inviting atmosphere. The main arrival point features mattgrey-black granite flooring and Travertine marble wall cladding, lending a sense of elegance to the space.

Enclosed by large glazing, the space maximizes natural light and boasts breath-taking surrounding views. Designed with a perfect balance of form and function, the space is both stylish and welcoming, with an abundance of architectural flourishes.
The Tranquillity Garden leads to the Infinity Pool, surrounded by a bare-finished timber deck, gym, BBQ, Function Suite, and cascading water feature, juxtaposing against each other. These spaces link to the key node in the southern part, creating a sequence of landscaping areas that engage with the surrounding environment.
Tower A offers a range of residential units, with sizes ranging from 250 sqm to 718 sqm, each connected with a private lobby and garden or sky garden in-built for selected units.

Besides, the building fenestration is designed to provide a sense of lightness and reduce the overall massing.

This design strategy creates a harmonious relationship between the building and its context, enhancing its visual impact and contributing to the overall aesthetic quality of the area.
