3. A wide variety of floor plans and convenient common equipment

There are 10 floor plans (from 66.72 m² to 85.84 m²) available in 3LDK and 4LDK. In addition, a variety of layouts are available when combined with 26 different options, including expanded living and dining rooms, western-style rooms, and a storage space.

4. Adoption of ZEH-M Oriented specifications

The property has acquired ZEH-M Oriented certification, as well as the highest level of five-star third-party certification in the BELS^*1 (Building Energy-efficiency Labeling System) for the entire residential building and all residential units. The use of materials with high thermal insulation in the floors and ceilings and LOW-E double-glazing in windows that are directly exposed to the outside air prevent changes in room temperature . In addition, the use of high-efficiency equipment such as high-insulation bathtubs and LED lighting saves significant energy (at least 20% above the standard).
*1 A system in which a third-party evaluation organization certifies energy-saving performance of new and existing buildings.
