The 3 and 4 bed roomed units have been designed to offer maximum privacy to the occupants.

This has been achieved by separating the entrances such that occupants of the 3 and 4 bed roomed units that are at Ground level access their units separately from the occupants of the 3 and 4 bed roomed units which are on top of the ground-level units.
The design is such that the occupants of the 3 and 4 bed roomed units at 2nd floor level directly access their houses from the ground floor level through use of the elongated walkway.
This way, occupants of the 2nd floor level units will be able to directly access their houses from the ground floor and avoid a situation thereby all house unit block occupants access the houses from a common point. This reduces congestion and improves the privacy level of the individual units.
This elongated walkway design also aids the disabled to access 2nd floor level without necessarily using stairs.
Also, access from the car park to the building will be designed to utilize ramps where applicable so as to enable easy access for people with disability.
1 AND 2 BEDROOMED UNITS
The project has 15 blocks consisting of 1 and 2 Bedroomed units.
FLOOR AREA
The 2 bedroomed unit is 67m2 in plinth area.
The 1 bedroomed unit is 60m2 in plinth area.

There are 120 one and two bedroomed units consisting of 60 one bedroom units and 60 two bedroomed units.
These are located past the wetland area at the farthest location in the site going up towards the main road.

Access to the 1 and 2 bedroom units located at the second floor level is again eased through use of the elongated walkway protruding from the second floor level horizontally and touching the ground level in front. This way, occupants of the second and third floor level 1 and 2 bed roomed units do not have to use common stairways for access hence ease of use and guarantee of a higher privacy level as opposed to all occupants of the units within the building using one common stair.
FIRE ESCAPE SAFETY.
The use of the elongated walk way also helps reduce fatality risks in case of fire hence need for alternative entry/exit points that do not create stampede bottle-neck effect.

CAR PARKING
These units are served by a 10 m wide road that has ample space for off-road parking for visitors. The off-road parking can accomodate 83 car parks along its 251 meters long stretch.
In addition to the off-road parking, the project has 170 car parks to serve the house owners, bringing the total car parking spaces available to 253 .

DOVES OF PEACE
Each building has an abstract façade of 2 Peace doves facing each other looking upwards to the heavens.
These peace doves serve the purpose of inspiring people to always seek and cherish everlasting peace.
