The development is a block of eight luxury flats located on a cliff top, offering stunning views of the Dorset Coastline including Sandbanks Beaches, Sandbanks Peninsula, Pool Harbour, Bournemouth Bay, the Purbeck hills & the Isle of Wight. The natural slope of the site allows the lower floors of the building to be hidden when viewed from the highway and likewise on the seafront side the cliff top obscures the lower levels when viewed from the beach. A natural cleft in the cliff top allows the apartments on the lower level to retain sea views. Accommodation is spread over seven floor levels including a penthouse duplex, all built over a subterranean garage with car lift access. The form of the building features a series of petal shapes, progressively set back to create external balconies. The final form of the building provides a distinctive new landmark building on the seafront.
