Description
The size of an individual flat can be chosen freely. Bathrooms and other servicing rooms are located in the u-shaped concrete cores on the side of the deck access. Apart from the concrete cores and a load bearing columns on the opposite side, the storeys are free of columns or other load bearing elements. This concept allows for the flats to be cut like slices of a cake.
