The Komodo Dragon, otherwise known as Ora (in Mangarrai dialect) is the largest lizard on Earth. They are found on the islands of Komodo, Rinca and Padar in Eastern Indonesia. They have strong limbs and a muscular tail. Their bodies are covered with rough scales and have a good sense of smell. The house holds the value of “Fortitude”.

Ora, a house of fun and puns, is more than just a place to live. For many of us, Level 8 to 11 has become a home of four stories, full of joy and laughter.

There is alwavs something interesting going on in this house of ours. On some nights, the staircase is filed with song and music and even the occasional welfare cart that delivers coffee and food to tired Oraians. On other nights, our lounges are always alight with activity because we love each other’s company!
