The building is a large monolith with both natural and man-made features. The woods and rocks that characterise the landscape represent the concept by which surfaces are shaped and measured, establishing a symbiotic nature-artifice relationship. The plan is polygonal with a sloping roof section; the pigmented concrete cast on site, the different vertically staggered faces and the varying degrees of sandblasting, although complex in construction, represent a sincere and simple architecture. A large window surface floods the interior with light, and takes on the character of a reflector marking the flowing and unpredictable change of time.
