Above:Seen from the street,
the apartments are light-toned
and linear. Square windows to
the sides of the deck terraces
feature a dotted privacy pattern,
so occupants can look out while,
depending on the sun’s angle,
passers-by can’t look in.
Left:Transparent agenda –
visitors to the civic building and
gardens behind the development
can see through the topmost
penthouse to the ocean views.
Louvres offer a degree of privacy.
