History
Architecture
The two towers are situated in West Bay's business district and surround themselves with various shops, cafés and restaurants.[4] Their ground plan shape imitates a human eye and the facades of both towers are half glazed half patterned with windows and wallcovering. The ground level features a podium which hosts a car showroom, a retail shop and other commercial spaces.[5]
The towers, despite being a twin pair of buildings, exercise different functions. The north tower is an office building with 30 typical office floors, a plant room and technical spaces and the south tower is a residential building with 40 typical apartment floors with a total of 174 units, a swimming pool and a healthcare club, and also features plant and technical spaces.[6]
