The interior spaces continue the narrative of material precision and spatial clarity. Residences are organized to maximize light, views and comfort, with carefully studied proportions and operable windows offering natural ventilation. A sequence of shared amenities— including pools, fitness spaces, a restaurant and a private theater— are integrated into the podium and can be reserved to ensure privacy and flexibility for residents.

Throughout the project, elements of feng shui blend with contemporary Italian design. Architectural details such as window mullions and façade textures are conceived as part of a broader cultural dialogue. In the penthouses, large rooftop terraces of more than 200 square meters celebrate open-air living with panoramic views over Victoria Harbour. A refined design language draws on patterns of interlocking circles and the symbolic repetition of the number 8— a sign of prosperity in the Chinese tradition— creating a subtle interplay between form, meaning and experience.
“ The two residential towers stand as a response to one of the most intense urban laboratories in the world. In a city where density and ambition are the norm, the project introduces a new architectural attitude: rooted in context, rich in detail and resolutely human in scale,” says architect Sara Busnelli, Partner of ACPV
