The façade is stripped of all decorative metal work and is de-cluttered. The materials of the façade are harmonized with a few strategic subtractions and additions, including the addition of translucent glass light features that elevate the presence of the building at night.

The hard surfaces surrounding the primary drive entrance is transformed into a lush green private court.
