We therefore created this mix-use facility to have all these transactions in a four storey-structure, with a total floor area. The functions have been segregated as follows:

Located in Afienya, a major consideration in addition to the functional mixed-use effectiveness, which helps the team reduce travel time to the barest minimum and maintain harmonious work-life balance thus the tropical climate in which we find ourselves. Long overhangs, North-South orientation, double timed glazing, openable windows and infusion of soft landscaping were used to reduce the heating loads of the building.
