The incorporation of the inclined terrain in the design enabled the reduction of land development expenses and the realization of a design suitable for evacuation and firefighting operations in case of an emergency, by designating all the floors as refuge floors.
Each room is equipped with a sanitary room to ensure privacy and a top light and a south-facing balcony to draw in natural lighting and ventilation.
Simple and efficient management has been achieved by establishing a staff booth in the center of the public space on the 3rd floor where 2 units are arranged on one floor.
