All of the properties have one or several exterior spaces (terrace, loggia or balcony).

No, but the kitchen areas have all the necessary connection points (high-voltage connector for electric oven, dishwasher connections etc.). SIGNA has negotiated special rates for buyers with a number of kitchen studios.

Floors and walls: the floors in the WCs, bathrooms and storage rooms (with washing machine connections) are tiled with high-quality Italian stone from REFIN Ceramiche. The stylish floor tiles measure 60x60cm and the chosen shade is Bianca. The walls in the bathrooms and WCs are tiled with 30x60cm tiles, also in Bianca, with grouting in a matching shade. The elegant, staggered tiling pattern gives the bathrooms and WCs a more spacious feel.

Bathrooms: the sanitary equipment is also carefully planned down to the last detail, with generously proportioned walk-in showers featuring high-quality stainless steel drains and built-in, easy-to-clean filters and a 30cm-diameter rainfall showerhead. The flat surface helps prevent water deposits from collecting, which minimises limescale build-ups. All showers have additional, adjustable hand-held showerheads with smooth hoses, which minimises build-ups of soap deposits. All of the taps and other fittings with moveable parts in the bathrooms are metal, with no use of plastic – ensuring durability and maintaining the high-quality look and feel. In addition, all of the apartments with three or more rooms have a bathtub. The state-of-the-art fixtures and fittings continue in the WCs. A ceramic bowl with no flush rim, manufactured by Toto and usually only found in luxury hotels, ensures hygiene standards of the highest level. The Toto model is also the only one on the market with Tornado Flush technology, using three nozzles to efficiently clean the rim as well as the bowl. All WCs are fitted with a power outlet to allow installation of a bidet toilet if desired. Precise fixtures and fittings in accordance with the standard building and interior design specification, which we will send you on request, along with a copy of the fixtures and fittings catalogue. Additional details can be found online under smart fit-outs.

While repositioning walls is not out of the question, various factors must be taken into account (shafts, sprinkler systems, cooling ceilings etc) and it may result in additional costs.

Special requests regarding surface coverings can be accommodated, provided they are technically feasible, are submitted and commissioned in good time, and do not breach official regulations. Any additional costs incurred must be paid in accordance with the relevant agreement in the sales contract. Changes in layout that affect the sprinkler system, cooling ceiling, etc. must be assessed and approved by the building services consultant and the architect.

Safety and security are paramount at the PARKAPARTMENTS AM BELVEDERE.

Intelligent shading system: the shading system makes the floor-to-ceiling glazing in the apartments even smarter. Click here to find out more about the numerous practical functions it offers.
Ceiling cooling and high-performance insulation: Every living space features wide-area ceiling cooling via thermoactive building components, which, unlike conventional air conditioning, does not create noise or a draft – maintaining an extremely comfortable living environment efficiently and inconspicuously. Outstanding insulation throughout the building, to low-energy building standards, guarantees optimised use of resources in summer and winter, as well as lower energy costs.
Heating: low-cost underfloor heating offers a range of benefits over conventional radiator heating systems. The warming effect is particularly even and efficient, ensuring a comfortable and cosy living space, as well as minimising dust build-up. Underfloor heating can be individually adjusted using the digital controller in each room – as can the ceiling cooling. Fed by the hot water supply, the individually adjustable ladder towel radiators in the bathrooms help to dry damp towels even in winter.
