The Kalm Penthouse Ari consists of 23 units, whose design has been carefully thought out to fit in with the neighborhood’s character while still being modern and functional.

To blend in with the mid-century modern architecture prevalent in the area, the building was designed with curved corners.

The building’s facade also features planters with stone veneer, aluminum composite, steel railing, and composite timber ceiling, arranged in a dynamic pattern that differs from the conventional mid-century modern arrangement.
