Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How is the private plunge pool maintained and cleaned?
The private plunge pool in each villa is equipped with an independent automated saltwater filtration and chlorination system. Building management provides certified pool maintenance technicians who service and test water quality once or twice weekly at scheduled times, ensuring hassle-free operation for tenants.
How does the private elevator access work for guests and deliveries?
Residents use biometric fingerprint or smartphone encrypted keys to operate their dedicated private elevator directly to their home. For guests and food deliveries, the 24/7 lobby concierge verifies the visitor, contacts the resident via the video intercom, and grants one-time elevator access to the specific floor upon approval.
Is the double-height living room energy-efficient to air-condition?
Yes. The 6.5-meter glass facade uses specialized double-glazed Low-E solar-reflective glass with acoustic thermal breaks that blocks solar heat gain. Combined with the centralized Daikin VRV multi-split inverter climate control system with intelligent temperature sensors, the living salon cools rapidly while maintaining optimal energy efficiency.
