Further remarks detail the property's proud features: a generous alcove and a dedicated trunk room. Earthquake countermeasures include robust reinforced concrete columns with thick, deformed steel bars wrapped with steel hoops, and materials that allow the entrance door to be opened up to a certain level of seismic activity. A double-ceiling structure provides space between the ceiling and concrete slab, allowing for future relocation of wiring (mainly for lighting). The barrier-free design minimizes level differences within the unit for safety, creating a fully flat floor with minimal steps between rooms, corridors, sanitary areas, toilets, and bathrooms. This design is friendly for the elderly and small children. The use of top-hung sliding doors eliminates bottom rails, making cleaning easier and reducing tripping hazards. A reassuring 10-year warranty covers defects in major structural parts or parts preventing rainwater ingress, with free repairs for 10 years from the handover date. The entrance can optionally be changed to a touch-type lock (additional costs apply). The construction completion date is June 2025.
