Two stairwells and three elevators lead down inside each apartment block. Unlike most western-style constructions, there is no central corridor that connects each side of the building on each floor. Instead, the building is divided into three blocks. Each block has its own elevators and stairwells, isolated from the other blocks, and each block has a lobby common to all apartments in that block on that floor.
