Such confidence and exuberance definitely established Amisa as the
defining hallmark of the island. Every unit is also provided with a
spacious balcony which cantilevers beyond the main structure of the
building as a more overt sculptural composition. The union of the
curvaceous balconies to the commanding structure mimics the smooth
waves and the infinite expanse of the ocean. The balconies enliven the
buildings with their deep and fluid shadows. Daylight enhances the
beauty of this development through the large windows. Landscape
