The building was built to fit with its surroundings, with the roof's horizontal slope complementing the landscape and dropping down to the south. It has a large atrium in the center that lets in a lot of natural light. The structure appears bulky and large from the outside, but once inside, it appears transparent/ opaque and light.
In terms of the building envelope, it varies in size and angle on each side. The windows on the north and south sides are long and have a small angle, whereas the windows on the west and east sides are shorter and have a bigger angle. The atrium roof includes two elements: glass and a green roof, which allows the atrium to receive sunlight.
