Building description
Attention to detail.
This description of what the development offers provides an overview of the high standard of quality you can expect. We reserve the right to make changes and alterations; the quality, though, will remain the same. We would be pleased to accommodate the desires of a purchaser providing they are feasible.
General
Each of the residences is autonomous in respect of its power supply and building services. Over and above the living quarters and exterior spaces, each apartment is assigned a cellar room and utility room in the basement. There is an opportunity to acquire additional cellar and workshop space.
The underground garage is partly naturally lit; it is envisaged to incorporate single parking spaces as well as double garaging facilities.
Exterior walls
The brick and concrete exterior walls are finished in a light-coloured render. Every effort has been made to comply with the Minergie energy performance requirements throughout the outer shell of the building. The slightly protruding stairwell incorporating the main entrance is clad in rear-ventilated grey granite.
Roofs
The flat roofs are insulated with premium materials, covered with special gravel and extensively greened.
Seating areas, balconies and terraces
Every apartment possesses a number of seating areas, balconies and/or terraces. Every exterior space is finished with a granite floor and provisioned with electricity and a frost-proof water supply.
Window and balcony/terrace doors
The double-glazed wood/metal windows are furnished with reinforced fittings; each room benefits from at least one hinge-and-tilt casement window. The extensive window expanses are ceiling height and the living-cum-dining areas can be opened up by means of lift-and-slide doors.
Shutters and awnings
Every window is fitted with electric shutters. South-facing seating areas, balconies and terraces benefit from electrically operated folding-arm awnings that auto-retract in the event of high wind.
Interior walls
The brick-built walls are finished with a white-painted render. The wet rooms are finished with high-quality ceramic wall tiles.
