It is recommended that enlarged details, particularly concerning vehicular circulation from the ground to the third basement, be provided to understand the proposal better.

c) The service area depicted in the layout for the 4th floor is enclosed by walls on all sides, lacking doors, windows, or other architectural elements for access. Additionally, the openings in this area on the facade could impact the elevation and thus require detailed consideration in the drawings.
