The width of our walking platform is 3 meters, and the width of the viewing balconies is 20 meters. Again, within our project, we built 2 cafeterias, and two terraces, one of which will be glass and the other will be wooden. We also have 2 wooden city balconies in places with the most beautiful viewing area. There are camellias, swings, wooden-tiled seating areas and green areas surrounding them on our balconies. Except for the glass terraces, we built all surfaces as wooden cladding. They became a very perfect viewing area.” he said.

With the completion of our project, our fellow citizens will see these fragrant beauties, vegetation and trees closely.” said.
