The south of the building faces the seafront promenade providing both amenity and southerly exposure. The terrace at ground level offers an open space encouraging public activity and bringing the public realm to life.
Open terraces on the southeast and southwest corners of the second floor provide additional external amenity spaces and spectacular views out to sea.
