The Sakura residential building combines the advantages of urban living with the atmosphere of a family home with a garden. Each apartment is perceived as an individual element set between floor slabs, creating a dynamic façade. A key feature of the design is greenery—planter boxes line the building’s perimeter on all floors, visually softening the structure’s volume.

The building contains a total of 64 apartments and three rooftop villas. Thanks to the sloping terrain, the underground level is partially accessible from ground level and includes a shop, a café, access to underground parking, and several apartments with private gardens. Parking is covered by a green roof. Access to the apartments leads through a shared garden, while ground-floor units have private outdoor spaces.

The structural system is reinforced concrete, and the façade combines gold-colored metal panels, anthracite cladding, and white plaster. An automatic irrigation system uses rainwater. Climbing plants grow along stainless steel cables, allowing the building to blend naturally with its surroundings.
