some types that has a larger space for living room, there are some types that has a bigger
space for the bedroom
 This building has more curvy design compare to the Arte Mont Kiara building, thus it makes
some spaces looks higher and getting more natural lighting.

Gurney Condominium, this makes the Arte Mont Kiara building more expensive

simpler interior and smaller size of the unit, meanwhile the cost of Arte Mont Kiara
Condominium is a bit higher because of the aesthetic looks design
