With its multi-leveled, exposed concrete structure, the free space interior of the showroom is enveloped with a repetitive vertical glass panel facade. Color is also of great importance to the design intent. The facade consists of numerous colored glass panels that wrap the showroom.

Each tower facade is also wrapped with glass panels and is made up of 6 different tones of orange, green, or blue. The colors of the glass panels are the same colors used in the towers, visually connecting the showroom to the residential complex. The landscape is designed as layered ripples that descend while following the natural topography, as if originating from the central amenities complex. The design creates a large number of individual gardens containing a wide variety of plants indigenous to Ankara, Turkey.
