mean for Birmingham as a truly distinct landmark on the city\u2019s skyline.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe crystalline expression of the horizontal fa\u00e7ade allows the internal rooms to open up to panoramic views with brighter spaces and residents will also enjoy access to a range of amenities including a wellness hub, studio space and lounge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe approach for this design is straight forward: we want to create the finest city centre homes in Birmingham, if not Britain, has ever seen, in a location that is simply unrivalled and in a building that is distinguishable for all the right reasons and become a part of this world class destination.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The world\u2019s first
