To describe in brief, we have delivered a contemporary apartment wrapped into luxury using the latest available finishes handpicked to deliver a smart and stunning apartment suite.

It’s a perfect blend of modern design with a hint of striking bold colours to accentuate the rose gold metal with geometric cut-outs.
