Double volume glass façades, cross ventilation and views on both sides of the building are some advantages you have using this design methodology. The staggered landscape gardens within the façades create unique external triple volume spaces for residential units. The middle floor punches through that space, providing natural light and ventilation to the passages. The openings in the façade for the landscape spaces also reduce wind load on the building, making the structure more economical. 48 The Building There are 41 different types of units within this 20 storey residential tower, ranging from 39m² to 500m² units, in single and double volume spaces fully fitted with the option of fully integrated appliances and air-conditioning that is state of the art. There is a 360° view from the roof, overlooking the Johannesburg skyline with bar and swimming pool facilities and a clubhouse for entertainment. Facing the park on the 3rd floor, there is a gym and a gourmet kitchen, which is easily accessible from Park Central
