The residence gains its name from the parallel walls that gracefully cut through the terraces, creating a striking visual feature.
These walls, adorned with circular and semi-circular cutouts, pay homage to traditional Muslim family features with a modern twist.
The exterior of the residence is painted in shades of grey texture paint, while the gate, painted in yellow, adds a pop of colour and serves as a cheerful welcome to visitors.
