Hadid's design avoids hard angles and edges that are often typical of standard housing architecture. The facade consists of hand polished, organically curved metal elements. The dynamic curves produce a unique chevron pattern and interlocking levels that ensure privacy and security between apartments.

I prefer to invest my money in something tangible: bricks and mortar."
