Each floor of the building has a full-length balcony. They vary in width and depth; each offers views of the city and its walls.The other façades of the building exhibit a pattern of square voids that serve as both windows and openings for natural ventilation, catering to the hot climate of the city. Particularly on the sun-facing southern façade, a series of balconies extend across the entire width of the building, effectively addressing the need for shade and facilitating a pleasant outdoor experience.
