The main feature of the building is the roof structure made of 32 pieces of trapezoidal precast concrete units. The unique silhouette of the roof blends into the landscape from the views from the south side while creates a strange and humorous impression from the north side. Trapezoidal form of the roof contributes the building to effectively take in the natural sunlight and create the comfortable interior environment.
