With almost every room of this light-flooded four bedroom, three bathroom cooperative opening onto a planted terrace, one can enjoy fresh air and a taste of nature from the privacy of their own home.

Each area flows into the next with common elements that tie the various rooms together, creating a serene spaciousness.
