Home offers a collection of bespoke Terrace Homes, Skyhomes and Apartments. All homes include secure parking, light-filled, spacious floorplans and the ability to add home automation.&nbsp;

The design process involved creating 150 different floorplans so that they would respond to the varying lifestyles of residents. Despite the fact that construction is complete, you'll still have plenty of choices when it comes to picking the layout that works best for you.&nbsp;
