- Sports Resort Clubhouse: At the heart lies a resort-style clubhouse with lounge areas, co-working spaces, and a farm-to-table bistro. Floor-to-ceiling glass opens to courtyards with hanging gardens and zen water features, blending indoor-outdoor fluidity.
- Green Oasis in Steel: Vertical gardens cascade from steel beams, while rooftop solar panels and native landscaping transform the industrial shell into a sustainable sanctuary. Smart glass skylights bathe courts in natural light, reducing energy use.
